The HTML <audio> element is used to represent audio content in a document. The <audio> element can contain multiple audio resources, which can be described using the src attribute or the <source> element; the browser will choose the most appropriate one to use. For browsers that do not support the <audio> element, the <audio> element can also be added to the document as unrecognized content by the browser.
