Just turn it to server script, I dont see anything on your script may mess it.

Since my first reply seems to have been ignored, I’ll give it another shot with your specific case.

|Local Script|
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SoundEvent")

local Sound = --put sound here
local function Process(State)
    if not State then
        Sound:Play()
    else
        Sound:Stop()
    end
end

local function OnClick()
    Remote:FireServer()
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(OnClick)
Remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(Process)

|Server Script|
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
Remote.Name = "SoundEvent"
Remote.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

local State = false
local function Process(Player)
    if Player.UserId == 000000 then --change the 0s to your UserId
        if not State then
            State = true
            Remote:FireAllClients(true)
        else
            State = false
            Remote:FireAllClients(false)
        end
    end
end

Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(Process)

When a player clicks the button, the server will check if you were the one that clicked, otherwise the server won’t process the request.

If you are the one that clicked, it will make all the clients play the sound.

  • make the gui button be able to play and stop an audio which is a siren (done)
  • make other players be able to hear it instead of just me (current problem)

The script you have right now you can turn it into server script it will not effect anything as long as you dont use stuff that is only client side, like LocalPlayer

His local script is not compatible on the server and even if it did work, that’s the worst possible way to solve the issue.

Remember to ask these kind of questions when you have researched on YouTube, Dev Forum, or Dev Hub.

Here is a link I found on RemoteEvents. I hope it helps! Custom Events and Callbacks | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Have a great day!
