The problem is that you are using the play sound block. Each time through the loop it will start the sound at the beginning. What you wait is the "play sound until done" block.

try

when  clicked
forever
play sound WaterRunning ▼
 until done

You need to put:

when  clicked
forever
play sound WaterRunning ▼
 until done

The 'play sound' block actually starts a sound, but the script continues. So your script will keep restarting the sound before you can even hear it properly.

So the above suggestions work,or if you want a smoothly looping sound you could do something like this:

when  clicked
forever
play sound WaterRunning ▼
wait 8.15
 secs
adjust until you can't notice the pause anymore

You need "Play sound until done" Not just "Play sound" That should work. smile

The answer has been said many times, but I guess I will repeat it smile

Well, using the 'play sound' block just starts the sound while simultaneously continuing the rest of the script.

So what is happening now is that it is simultaneously running the forever loop and playing the sound which results in that "tththththth" noise- a snippet of the beginning of that sound.

The solution would be to use


play sound WaterRunning ▼
 until done

instead of just


play sound WaterRunning ▼

because "play sound until done" is exactly what you need- it plays the sound until it finishes and THEN continues the script.

OR:
Let's say that the sound is 5 seconds long. You could do what JSO said and do some thing like this:

when  clicked
forever
play sound WaterRunning ▼
wait 5
 secs

This allows the script to wait the length it takes to play the sound before starting over. However this method is rather time consuming and I guess "play sound until done" would be easier to do.

You could do

when  clicked
forever if water running
=1
play sound water running ▼
 until done

then when you set the variable water running to 0 the sound will stop.

By using,

when  clicked
forever
play sound WaterRunning

It will keeps restarting the sound. However, with


forever
play sound WaterRunning
 until done

It will wait until the sound file has finished and THEN restart it.

So basically,


play sound WaterRunning
 until done

waits until the file is finished playing to move on in the script.
