There is little sound used in this clip of Sherlock Holmes but the sound that is used is used to good effect. During the conversation between Moriarty and Sherlock some ominous, daunting music starts playing and continues until Moriarty leaves. This adds effect to the threat Moriarty makes against Sherlock as it makes him seem more dark and dangerous. As Moriarty Leaves you hear the door open and then close. Even though you don't physically see him go through the door, by the sound effect of just hearing the door, you know he has. Throughout the whole clip you can hear the water of the swimming pool just moving and sloshing about which just adds that bit of background noise that makes it so that when people aren't speaking, it's not complete silence. I think that it's good that there is never complete silence because otherwise the viewers could get bored.
When Sherlock rips the coat off of Dr Watson, the sounds of the coat rustling and moving in exaggerated so you can hear it clearly and then Sherlock runs off screen and you hear the door open, then close again but Sherlock runs back in. This shows that he just opened it, looked outside and the closed it. If Sherlock hadn't have walked on screen then you would have assumed that he'd left.
As you see the laser pointer on John Watson you hear a different door opening and Moriarty walks back in. Some upbeat music plays as they talk which brings the excitement levels up and the tension because it build and builds and gets louder and louder while Sherlock aims the gun at the coat with bombs in it and then it abruptly stops as the clip ends on a cliff-hanger.
