# sound datum

Source: https://ref.dm-lang.org/sound/

A `/sound` datum is created by the `sound()` proc or by `new/sound()`. It can be used to change the way a sound file will play. When you're ready to play the sound, just send it to a player like so:

```dm
var/sound/S = sound('bubbles.wav')
usr << S
```

The sound file can be supplied as a list of choices, in which case the client will play the first compatible sound in the list.
