Web sounds

Question

Please don’t mind my ignorance but is there a tag for sounds on web page?
Or
Can we produce sounds on our web page?

Answer 1

Yes there is a tag, it's the <audio> tag, it works like this

<audio src="example.mp3" controls/>

That is the easiest syntax to add an audio element to your page, the html course will go into more detail in the HTML.5 section of the course 🙂

And yes, with the Web Audio API (nothing special here, that's just what it's called), we can create our own sounds in JavaSricpt, althoght it gets a bit tricky and is ideal to use for Web games, usually the <audio> tag is enough to get audio from a source and play it
