Use Sound Recorder To Record And Play Sounds In Ubuntu

Like all modern operating systems, Ubuntu also offers tools to record and play sounds. Ubuntu’s Sound Recorder Application lets you record and play sound in .flac, .wavm, .spx and .oga formats. It comes by default with Ubuntu and using it is a piece-of-cake.

You can launch it from Applications >Sounds & Videos > Sound Recorder.
