Identifying sound reels

[jumar]

Easy question:

I have found a reel of super 8 film from 1978. I've never actually seen a processed sound reel, and am wondering how to identify whether the reel has sound by looking at the print.

Thanks.

P.S. I've checked the archives.

The sound stripes are two dark lines going down both (rarely just one)side of the film. If you compare it to a piece of film you know to be silent, the difference will be obvious.
