I've just looked at the file. Its very short and sounds like somebody trying
to record something with the microphone inside a backpack next to some noisy
machinery. What on earth is the point in making it into an mp3, its very
short already and unless its some alien communication it seems a trifle
useless.

Can you embed a WAV file in an HTML web page? Obviously you can embed
an MP3 file in a web page, but I think you can't with a WAV.

According to;

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp

you cannot use an AUDIO element for a WAV for IE/Edge.

This is adquate reason for converting to MP3.


I don't actually *know*, but that seems highly unlikely. Sounds more
like a limitation of one particular web design package.
