Difference between Play( ) and PlayLocalSound( )

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

What’s the difference between these two functions, and when am I supposed to use them?
I’ve been using PlayLocalSound() and Play(). Both work correctly in my scripts, but I don’t really know the difference, except that one is local.

Local SoundService = Game:GetService("SoundService")
Local Sound = Script.Parent:WaitForChild("Sound")

-- What should I use? (both Script and LocalScript)
SoundService:PlayLocalSound(Sound) 
Sound:Play()

That’s precisely the difference. One plays the sound for everyone to hear, while the other only plays the sound for the client calling the method to hear

PlayLocalSound() is used for studio plugins to play sounds.
