Creating and playing a sound in swift

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?

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()
    }

@IBAction func notePressed(_ sender: UIButton) {

    // noise while pressing button

    audioPlayer?.play()    }

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")

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)

        }
    }

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)
}

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.

Here's a bit of code I've got added to FlappySwift that works:

import SpriteKit
import AVFoundation

class GameScene: SKScene {

    // Grab the path, make sure to add it to your project!
    var coinSound = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: Bundle.main.path(forResource: "coin", ofType: "wav")!)
    var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer()

    // Initial setup
    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
        audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: coinSound, error: nil)
        audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()
    }

    // Trigger the sound effect when the player grabs the coin
    func didBeginContact(contact: SKPhysicsContact!) {
        audioPlayer.play()
    }

}

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);

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);
}

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)
        }
    }

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"

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()
    }
}

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()

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")

        audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: soundURL, error: nil)
        audioPlayer.play()
    }

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
}

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
