# play Sound Effect
|
||
|
|
||
|
Play a sound that is generated from a sound expression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sig
|
||
|
music.playSoundEffect("", SoundExpressionPlayMode.UntilDone)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will play a **[Sound](/types/sound)** object created from a sound expression. The sound will play for the duration that was set in the sound expression. The sound can play on the speaker or at a pin that is set for sound output.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your program can wait for the sound to finish before it runs its next step. To do this, set the play mode to `until done`. Otherwise, use `background` for the program to continue immediately after the sound starts.
