**First** , are you previewing the app in the project detail page? If so, try previewing it somewhere else, like within the project design or the [live test app](https://thunkable.com/mobile).

**Second** , try doing something like this, a buffer, so that when you click the button, it plays the sound, and then after the desired amount of time, the audio will stop, and then you can keep pressing it, and it will keep making the sound. ⬇
