Regular 8mm movie film was never sold commercially with a sound strip but some people did attach a sound strip themselves.

On the order form you can let us know if you think your film has sound on it. It does take extra effort to capture the sound and incorporate it into the requested formats. So, we do charge a little more for sound film.
