# Sounds

Sounds are spawned by the [microphone](https://learn.tvori.co/tools/microphone) or from them [shelf](https://learn.tvori.co/tools/shelf) when [importing audio files](https://learn.tvori.co/import/import-sounds).

You can record sounds with the microphone or import them from a [project folder](https://learn.tvori.co/projects). You can place sounds around, change the sound distance and volume.

Sounds are synchronized with the [timeline](https://learn.tvori.co/tools/timeline) and have their timing represented as clips. So they play when you play the timeline. You can edit the clips.
