Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film is called Diegetic Sound
The way Guardians of the Galaxy features Star Lord's Walkman and the Awesome Mix Vol. 1 cassette from his mother which he listens to and which also provides the bulk of the movie's soundtrack as well as the Creedence playing on The Dude's tape deck when he wrecks into the dumpster are both examples diegetic sound.
The term also encompasses voices of characters and sounds made by objects in the story but it's the use of music represented as coming from instruments or devices in the story space as opposed to the background score to which we're accustomed that calls for differentiation.
