sound file
Digital audio recording
A sound file is a digital file containing audio data—music, speech, sound effects, or any recorded sound.
Common formats include MP3, WAV, and AAC.
I downloaded the sound file but it won't play.
The term is somewhat dated, having given way to "audio file" in most contexts.
