# Sound Library

The sound library contains categorized sounds that you can use to enhance the
user experience and increase the polish of your actions. Google hosts these
sounds for you, so all you need to do is reference them in the `src` attribute
of an `<audio>` element when using [SSML](https://developers.google.com/assistant/conversational/ssml).

The following code snippet shows you how to use these sounds with the Node.js
client library:

### Node.js

```javascript
function playAudio(conv) {
  let text_to_speech = '<speak>'
    + 'I can play a sound'
    + '<audio src="https://actions.google.com/sounds/v1/alarms/digital_watch_alarm_long.ogg">a digital watch alarm</audio>. '
    + '</speak>'
  conv.add(text_to_speech);
};
```

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** You can also search and listen to these sound effects in the [YouTube Audio Library](https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/soundeffects). The sounds here are hosted here for you, so you can reference their locations directly in your app.
