Play audio on page load in JavaScript

To play audio in JavaScript Audio() constructor can be used, which is an alternative to the <audio> element in html and can be used to directly link an audio file with a variable in JavaScript.

Step 1 : 

Make a constant Object of Audio constructor, and input the file location of the audio file as given.

const audio = new Audio("audio/sounds.mp3");

 

Step 2 :

Write the code in js file :

const audio = new Audio("audio/sound.mp3");

window.onload = () =>{
    audio.play();
}

Explanation :

• To play the audio, play() can be used on audio constant

  audio.play();

• Use window.onload EventHandler to play the audio when the page is loaded

  window.onload = () =>{
      audio.play();
  }

  Here, window.onload will execute the anonymous function when the page is loaded.
