Add Audio

Here are two methods of embedding sound clips on your site. The first is very quick and easy. The second is only slightly more involved but more versatile.

Share the audio file so that it is public and copy the link address
Add an embed section on your site and paste in the link
Edit the link to change 'view' to 'preview'

Example

Link URL for above audio is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UqIyP7ZoEjESgwyi-0lkODnT4jFRIK89/view?usp=sharing

Changing 'view' to 'preview' gives: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UqIyP7ZoEjESgwyi-0lkODnT4jFRIK89/preview?usp=sharing

2. This method puts a html audio player on your page. To get the file from your Drive you need to copy the id and paste into the code shown below.
