PlaybackSpeed

NotReplicated

This item is not replicated across Roblox’s server/client boundary.

Property of: Sound

Value Type: float

Description:

Determines the speed at which a Sound will play. The greater the value the faster the sound will play back.

For example, a value of 2 will cause the Sound to play 2x faster, whereas a value of 0.5 will cause it to play 2x slower. When PlaybackSpeed is equal to 1, the sound will take Sound/TimeLength (in seconds) to complete.

Note that increasing the PlaybackSpeed of a sound will cause it to play at a higher pitch.
