## Parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In blocks, the sound is selected from the list in the ``||music:play sound||`` block.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```block
|
||
|
|
soundExpression.giggle.play()
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When coding in JavaScript or Python, the sound is a ``soundExpression`` object which from which you run the ``play()`` function from. For example, to play the ``soaring`` sound, select ``soaring`` from the ``soundExpression`` namespace and run ``play()``:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```typescript
|
||
|
|
soundExpression.soaring.play()
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Play the ``twinkle`` sound on the speaker.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```blocks
|
||
|
|
soundExpression.twinkle.play()
|
||
|
|
```

||
