So what I want to do is create and play a sound in swift that will play when I press a button, I know how to do it in Objective-C, but does anyone know how to in Swift?
It would be like this for Objective-C:
NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"mysoundname" ofType:@"wav"]];
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)soundURL, &mySound);
And then to play it I would do:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(Explosion);
Does anyone know how I could do this?
This question is related to

audio
swift
var mySound = NSSound(named:"Morse.aiff")
mySound.play()
"Morse.aiff" is a system sound of OSX, but if you just click on "named" within XCode, you'll be able to view (in the QuickHelp pane) where this function is searching the sounds. It can be in your "Supporting files" folder
Swift 3 here's how i do it.
{
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "yoursoundname", withExtension: "wav")!
do {
player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url); guard let player = player else { return }
player.prepareToPlay()
player.play()
} catch let error as Error {
print(error)
}
}
//Swift 4
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var player : AVAudioPlayer?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func notePressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "note1", ofType: "wav")!
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)
do {
player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url)
player?.play()
} catch {
// error message
}
}
}
works in Xcode 9.2
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "note1", withExtension: "wav") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
// Play
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound);
}
This code works for me:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var audioFilePathURL : NSURL!
var soundSystemServicesId : SystemSoundID = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
audioFilePathURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("MetalBell", withExtension: "wav")
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID( audioFilePathURL, &soundSystemServicesId)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
@IBAction func PlayAlertSound(sender: UIButton) {
AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(soundSystemServicesId)
}
}
For Swift 3:
extension SystemSoundID {
static func playFileNamed(_ fileName: String, withExtenstion fileExtension: String) {
var sound: SystemSoundID = 0
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: fileName, withExtension: fileExtension) {
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &sound)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sound)
}
}
}
This is similar to some other answers, but perhaps a little more "Swifty":
// Load "mysoundname.wav"
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "mysoundname", withExtension: "wav") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
// Play
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound);
}
Note that this is a trivial example reproducing the effect of the code in the question. You'll need to make sure to import AudioToolbox, plus the general pattern for this kind of code would be to load your sounds when your app starts up, saving them in SystemSoundID instance variables somewhere, use them throughout your app, then call AudioServicesDisposeSystemSoundID when you're finished with them.
Swift 4
import UIKit
import AudioToolbox
class ViewController: UIViewController{
var sounds : [SystemSoundID] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
for index in 0...sounds.count-1 {
let fileName : String = "note\(sounds[index])"
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: fileName, withExtension: "wav") {
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &sounds[index])
}
}
}
@IBAction func notePressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
switch sender.tag {
case 1:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[0])
case 2:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[1])
case 3:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[2])
case 4:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[3])
case 5:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[4])
case 6:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[5])
default:
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sounds[6])
}
}
}
or
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
class ViewController: UIViewController, AVAudioPlayerDelegate{
var audioPlayer : AVAudioPlayer!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func notePressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "note\(sender.tag)", withExtension: "wav")
do {
audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: soundURL!)
}
catch {
print(error)
}
audioPlayer.play()
}
}
import AVFoundation
var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
class GameScene: SKScene {
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
let soundURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("04", withExtension: "mp3")
audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: soundURL, error: nil)
audioPlayer.play()
}
}
swift 4 & iOS 12
var audioPlayer: AVAudioPlayer?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func notePressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
// noise while pressing button
_ = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "note1", ofType: "wav")
if Bundle.main.path(forResource: "note1", ofType: "wav") != nil {
print("Continue processing")
} else {
print("Error: No file with specified name exists")
}
do {
if let fileURL = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "note1", ofType: "wav") {
audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: fileURL))
} else {
print("No file with specified name exists")
}
} catch let error {
print("Can't play the audio file failed with an error \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
audioPlayer?.play() }
}
Swift code example:
import UIKit
import AudioToolbox
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBAction func notePressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
// Load "mysoundname.wav"
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "note1", withExtension: "wav") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
// Play
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound);
}
}
Matt Gibson's solution worked for me, here is the swift 3 version.
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "ringSound", withExtension: "aiff") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound);
}
Let us see a more updated approach to this question:
Import AudioToolbox
func noteSelector(noteNumber: String) {
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: noteNumber, withExtension: "wav") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound)
}
Handy Swift extension:
import AudioToolbox
extension SystemSoundID {
static func playFileNamed(fileName: String, withExtenstion fileExtension: String) {
var sound: SystemSoundID = 0
if let soundURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource(fileName, withExtension: fileExtension) {
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL, &sound)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(sound)
}
}
}
Then, from anywhere in your app (remember to import AudioToolbox), you can call
SystemSoundID.playFileNamed("sound", withExtenstion: "mp3")
to play "sound.mp3"
With a class & AudioToolbox:
import AudioToolbox
class Sound {
var soundEffect: SystemSoundID = 0
init(name: String, type: String) {
let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(name, ofType: type)!
let pathURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path)
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(pathURL as CFURLRef, &soundEffect)
}
func play() {
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(soundEffect)
}
}
Usage:
testSound = Sound(name: "test", type: "caf")
testSound.play()
This code works for me. Use Try and Catch for AVAudioPlayer
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
//Make sure that sound file is present in your Project.
var CatSound = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Meow-sounds.mp3", ofType: "mp3")!)
var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
do {
audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: CatSound)
audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()
} catch {
print("Problem in getting File")
}
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
@IBAction func button1Action(sender: AnyObject) {
audioPlayer.play()
}
}
import UIKit
import AudioToolbox
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let toneSound : Array = ["note1","note2","note3","note4","note5","note6"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
func playSound(theTone : String) {
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: theTone, withExtension: "wav") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
do {
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
// Play
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound);
}
catch {
print(error)
}
}
}
@IBAction func anypressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
playSound(theTone: toneSound[sender.tag-1] )
}
}
According to new Swift 2.0 we should use do try catch. The code would look like this:
var badumSound = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("BadumTss", ofType: "mp3"))
var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()
do {
player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: badumSound)
} catch {
print("No sound found by URL:\(badumSound)")
}
player.prepareToPlay()
Use This Function to make sound in Swift (You can use this function where you want to make sound.)
First Add SpriteKit and AVFoundation Framework.
import SpriteKit
import AVFoundation
func playEffectSound(filename: String){
runAction(SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("\(filename)", waitForCompletion: false))
}// use this function to play sound
playEffectSound("Sound File Name With Extension")
// Example :- playEffectSound("BS_SpiderWeb_CollectEgg_SFX.mp3")
this is working with Swift 4 :
if let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "note3", withExtension: "wav") {
var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL as CFURL, &mySound)
// Play
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(mySound);
}
Couldn't you just import AVFoundation, select the audio player (var audioPlayer : AVAudioPlayer!), and play the sound? (let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "sound", withExtension: "wav")
This creates a SystemSoundID from a file called Cha-Ching.aiff.
import AudioToolbox
let chaChingSound: SystemSoundID = createChaChingSound()
class CashRegisterViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(chaChingSound)
}
}
func createChaChingSound() -> SystemSoundID {
var soundID: SystemSoundID = 0
let soundURL = CFBundleCopyResourceURL(CFBundleGetMainBundle(), "Cha-Ching", "aiff", nil)
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(soundURL, &soundID)
CFRelease(soundURL)
return soundID
}
You can try this in Swift 5.2:
func playSound() {
let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: selectedSoundFileName, withExtension: "wav")
do {
audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: soundURL!)
}
catch {
print(error)
}
audioPlayer.play()
}
