# Sound

A multimedia component that plays sound files and optionally vibrates for the number of milliseconds (thousandths of a second) specified in the Blocks Editor. The name of the sound file to play can be specified either in the Designer or in the Blocks Editor.

For supported sound file formats, see Android Supported Media Formats.

This Sound component is best for short sound files, such as sound effects, while the Player component is more efficient for longer sounds, such as songs.

## Properties

### MinimumInterval

The minimum interval, in milliseconds, between sounds. If you play a sound, all further Play() calls will be ignored until the interval has elapsed.

### Source

The name of the sound file. Only certain formats are supported. See <http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html>.

## Events

none

## Methods

### Pause()

Pauses playing the sound if it is being played.

### Play()

Plays the sound.

### Resume()

Resumes playing the sound after a pause.

### Stop()

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.appybuilder.com/components/reference/media/sound.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
