Creating and playing a sound in swift

Question

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   amp mySound     And then to play it I would do   AudioServicesPlaySystemSound Explosion     Does anyone know how I could do this

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

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   amp 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

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
