Sounds are an important part of Warcraft maps, giving audible feedback to the player. For example every time you complete a quest, the QuestCompleted sound is played (in campaigns).
To play your own sounds, all you have to do is invoke the Sound Editor by pressing F5:

- The Sound Editor
Then either import your own sounds (WAV or MP3 format) by clicking File → Import Sound… (CTRL + I) or pick some from the 6311 built-in sound-effects.
After importing/picking is done, right click on a file and select Use as sound:

- Right click → Use as sound
It is important that 3D sound in the Sound Properties is not checked:

- 3D Sound must be unchecked
And finally playing the sound is as simple as using the Sound - Play Sound function:

- Trigger that Plays a Sound
