Chapter 21: Figures, Sounds and Files
21.8. Declaring and playing back sounds

Sound effects are accommodated on the same basis as illustrations. The relevant media files need to be placed in a subfolder of the project's Materials folder, but this time called Sounds rather than Figures, so for instance:

Example.inform
Example Materials
    Figures
        Woodlands.png
        Blackberry.jpg
        Red Admiral Butterfly.png
    Sounds
        Rustling leaves.ogg

Again, these must be declared in the source text:

Sound of rustling leaves is the file "Rustling leaves.ogg".

And they can be played using the phrase:

play the sound of rustling leaves;

As an option, we could also write

play the sound of rustling leaves, one time only;

which causes the sound effect to be played back the first time this phrase is reached.
