recorded message

Playback audio note

A recorded message is audio that has been captured for later playback, typically a prerecorded announcement or greeting.

The term most often refers to automated phone system messages: Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed.

A recorded message on an answering machine or voicemail captures what a caller left behind: He never picked up, so I left a recorded message.
