Need Subtitle Tips/Examples/Guide On entering [sound], [echo] etc

[indietalker]

I need some sort of guide or tips/links for entering background sound type of entries in subtitling:

Would I be using like [eerie music], [whispering] etc for the background music or sounds?

What's the common practice please?

Google around for Closed Captioning Cues since that's what you're looking for. As far as I've always been told, subtitles usually don't include any audio cues, just dialogue translated to other languages while Closed Captions are intended for the hearing impaired and so have audio cues to explain what's happening on screen.
Beyond that, I'm not so sure that there are hard and fast rules for the cues. There's probably a guideline somewhere, but if the cues you wind up using make sense, are brief, and help the hearing impaired enjoy your movie, then you should be fine.

Thank you Andrius for your valuable information I appreciate very much.

I have found some examples by googling as you have suggested:

For closed captions: Also add text describing sounds like [applause] or [thunder].
