how to loop constant sound without noticing loop point?

Any advice on how to loop constant sound without noticing loop point?

So if I have a constant audio clip of say wind noise, and say it’s 10 secs worth, if I want to keep this going constantly in the background is there a way to “loop” it without having the looping point noticeable?

Is there perhaps noway to achieve this with audio.play and using looping?  Do I have to make a much longer audio file of a couple of minutes and use this technique instead?

Hi Greg,

Usually if you format your sound as a WAV file and use audio.play, you can use the loops option for audio.play() (http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/audio/play.html) to loop it seamlessly.  That’s assuming that your WAV file itself is set up so that the end seamlessly blends into the beginning.  To create a file like that, try using an audio editing program like Audacity (and search for a tutorial online).
