if you’re looking for an optimized way to do sounds/animations one way to do it (at least the way i do it)

is to set up a module in replicatedstorage (so the client and the server can reach it)
have something like this:
function module.CreateSound(SoundName : string, Volume : NumberValue)
and then go on to create the sound

NewSound.Name = SoundName
NewSound.SoundId = rbxassetid://..SoundID.Value
NewSound.Parent = SoundService

You can get the “Newsound” ID using this method

	for i, SoundID in ipairs(SFXValues:GetDescendants()) do
		if SoundID:IsA("IntValue") and SoundID.Name == SoundName then

SFXValues could be located anywhere you want
Just make sure to make a intvalue, make the value to your sound ID. And set the name of the intvalue to your sound name

Now this is really only needed if you have hundreds of sounds, cause they can cost a lot of memory

and for animations

you can do the pretty much the same thing

heres a post on optimization
