PlayLocalSound plays to everyone in the server

I’m trying to make a LocalScript that plays a sound to whoever touches a specific part.
The localscript is in StarterPlayerScripts:

local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://190619411"
sound.Parent = workspace
local trigger = game.Workspace.klaxontrigger
local isplaying = false
local SoundService = game:GetService("SoundService")

local function playLocalSound(soundId)
	if isplaying then
		return
	end
	local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
	sound.SoundId = soundId
	sound.Volume = 1
	SoundService:PlayLocalSound(sound)
	sound.Ended:Wait()
	sound:Destroy()
	isplaying = false
end

local function onTouch(part)
	playLocalSound(190619411)
end

trigger.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Whenever someone touches the part, the sound can be heard for the whole server, while I want it only to play for the person that just touched it.

sound.Volume = 1
SoundService:PlayLocalSound(sound)
sound.Ended:Wait()
sound:Destroy()
isplaying = false
end

local function onTouch(part)
     if part.Parent.Name == plr.Name then
    playLocalSound(190619411)
end
  end

trigger.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

All clients can detect when a part was touched, meaning that all clients are going to play the sound.

Make sure that when the part is touched, it is the local player that touched it. Right now this fires whenever any player steps on the part.

For some reason, when the script created the new Sound, it wouldn’t load the ID.
So, instead, I made a sound in SoundService and called to play that instead of creating a new Sound.
Here’s what worked:

local trigger = game.Workspace.klaxontrigger
local isplaying = false
local SoundService = game:GetService("SoundService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local function playLocalSound(soundId)
    if isplaying then
	    return
    end
isplaying = true
local sound = SoundService.klaxonbeat
SoundService:PlayLocalSound(sound)
sound.Ended:Wait()
isplaying = false
end

local function onTouch(part)
	if part.Parent.Name == plr.Name then
    	playLocalSound(190619411)
	end
end

trigger.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Thank you both for your help!
