Sound Library

  • The sound library offers categorized sounds to enhance user experience and polish actions.

  • Google hosts these sounds, and you can reference them using the src attribute of an <audio> element with SSML.

  • You can also find and listen to these sound effects in the YouTube Audio Library.

  • Use of the sound library is subject to the Actions on Google Terms of Service and is intended only for use within the Actions you create.

  • Distributing sound files separately or using them illegally is not permitted.

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.

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

Node.js

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);
};
