Play Sound Randomly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make a sound randomly play, here is a script the randomly changes the pitch, but how could I make it randomly play the sound?

while true do
	wait()
	
	script.Parent.PlaybackSpeed = math.random(70, 160)/100
end

A simple way to wait a random period of time would be using wait(math.random(min,max)) in the loop.

You could also write while wait() do instead.

How could I print the wait() so I can see how long the sound took to play

You could create a variable that chooses a random number for the wait time. Then you can used that information and print it or use it in a wait. It would look something like this:

while true do
     local randomNumber = math.random(min, max)
     wait(randomNumber)
     print(ramdomNumber)
end

Is there a way to do it without editing this script much?

while true do
	wait()
	
	script.Parent.Playing = wait(math.random(4,15))
	print()
end

Well, yes…?

while true do
     local randomNumber = math.random(min, max)
     wait(randomNumber)
     script.Parent.Playing = wait(math.random(4,15))
     print(randomNumber)
end

If you have more sounds to play, you need to add them in a table

soundlist = {your instances}

after that you need to get instances of it by doing

local getchildren = script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()
for _,v in pairs(getchildren) do
      local findbytable = table.find(soundlist,v)
      if findbytable ~= nil then
              -- // do random chance
              local chance = Random.new():NextNumber(0,100)
              if chance < 25 then
                    v:Play()
                    break
              end
      end
end

(it’s kinda incomplete or was in rush, but try to finish it)
