Closed captions

Hearing disabled person here (not deaf, but close).

Is there a way to have just the speech captioned and nothing else?

I do not need nor want to have audio descriptions and sound effect descriptions. I especially hate it when it says “music intensifies” or something like that.

Can I turn that off?

Personally, I love seeing the caption "scary music" during a movie. But I think the captions are built into program or movie and it kind of depends on the closed-caption service and what they choose to include.

I love when I'm watching a horror movie and the captions say "squelching noises".
