I am making an app where the user drags an object and it needs to make a constant dragging noise so I put this in to do that.

-----CODE

local sounds = {}

sounds[“dragNoise”] = audio.loadSound(“dragNoise.wav”)

audio.setVolume(1, {channel = 1})

function playSound(name)

if name == “dragNoise” then

audio.stop(1)

audio.play(sounds[“dragNoise”], {channel=1})

end

end

-----CODE

then I have my dragging function and I put this in

-----CODE

elseif(event.phase==“moved”) then

playSound(“dragNoise”)

-----CODE

this works fine and it plays the sound except it is playing it over and over again at the beginning and it sounds awful I want the noise to sound constant. PLEASE HELP!

audio.play has a loop parameter so loop it indefinitely. So either mute when finger is not dragging or use audio.stop on end phase.
