EmitSound

EmitSound[_Audio | _Sound, opts___]

emits (without output or any widgets) a Sound or plays Audio object.

Options

"Window"

The same as in FrontSubmit. By the default is CurrentWindow

Examples

Use EmitSound in a button action to play a note without producing an output widget:

Button["Beep", EmitSound[Sound[SoundNote["C4"]]]]

It also accepts imported or generated Audio objects:

EmitSound[Audio["sound.wav"]]

sfx = Audio[
  Table[Sin[Sqrt[10000.0 t]], {t, 0, 4 Pi, 0.001}],
  "Real32"
];
EmitSound[sfx]

UI events such as button clicks provide the current window implicitly. Timers lose that evaluation context, so capture the window before creating the timer and pass it through the "Window" option:

win = CurrentWindow[];
SetTimeout[
  EmitSound[Sound[SoundNote["C4"]], "Window" -> win],
  Quantity[2, "Seconds"]
];
