sound clip

Brief recorded sample

A sound clip is a short excerpt of recorded audio, typically extracted from a longer piece such as a speech, song, interview, or broadcast.

Sound clips are used in media production, journalism, and online communication to highlight memorable moments or provide evidence of what was said.

The news segment included a sound clip of the senator's controversial remarks.

In casual use, people share sound clips as reactions or jokes, much like memes.
