Will Sound Play if Placed Into Character Part?

Hi Team! - Another super rookie question I’m sure. I’d like to play a sound when a player picks up cash, and only have it heard nearby the pick-up (both by that player and anyone nearby). My method was to clone the sound from serverstorage into every player’s head, then have the sound triggered when the cash is touched. I can confirm my placing of the sound into the player’s head is working, and everything else works with the pickup of the cash, but the sound does not seem to play. Probably missing something simple here. Very much appreciate any suggestions.

Clone Sound into Player Head (works):

local DingSound = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("MoneyDing")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local ClonedMoneyDing = DingSound:Clone()
		ClonedMoneyDing.Parent = character.Head
		print("Cloned Ding Sound into Player's Head.")
	end)
end)

Collect Cash (All works except sound playing)

db = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not db then
		db = true
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
	    	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	    		if player then
				hit.Parent.Head.MoneyDing:Play()
				player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + 25
				player.TotalCashEarned.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + 25
				script.Parent.Parent.Part:Destroy()
				script.Parent:Destroy()
			end
		end	
		wait(2)
		db = false
	end
end)

This all works - I was doing something stupid: I had the sound distance set low so that it would only be heard local to the event, but it was very low (10) - and when I’d test my camera was zoomed out too far.

I can delete this post if its not helpful - but it can certainly be used to show adding sounds to players.
