Audio problem: The second time Jeffrey visits his father in hospital, there's the whooshing sound of a respirator, but the father isn't on a respirator and he's in a single room, so there's no need for a respirator, or the noise of one.
Blue Velvet (1986)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: David Lynch
Starring: Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern, Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini
Continuity mistake: At Ben's place, Frank enjoys a cold glass of Pabst Blue Ribbon - its colour, the level in the glass, and the amount of head change repeatedly within a few seconds.
Sandy: I don't know if you're a detective or a pervert.
Jeffrey: Well, that's for me to know and you to find out.
Question: When Jeffrey and Sandy are discussing where Isabella Rossellini lived, it is mentioned that she lived on the 7th floor of the apartment building. When they show the outside of the building it appears to have only 4 floors. Was this symbolic or an oversight?

Answer: There's probably not any symbolic meaning, despite the number seven having multiple magical connotations to it. Most likely, this is just a movie inconsistency.
