Class PositionalAudio

Create a positional audio object. This uses the Web Audio API.

Example

// create an AudioListener and add it to the camera
const listener = new THREE.AudioListener();
camera.add(listener);
// create the {@link PositionalAudio} object (passing in the listener)
const sound = new THREE.PositionalAudio(listener);
// load a sound and set it as the {@link PositionalAudio} object's buffer
const audioLoader = new THREE.AudioLoader();
audioLoader.load('sounds/song.ogg', function (buffer) {
    sound.setBuffer(buffer);
    sound.setRefDistance(20);
    sound.play();
});
// create an object for the sound to play from
const sphere = new THREE.SphereGeometry(20, 32, 16);
const material = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
    color: 0xff2200
});
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(sphere, material);
scene.add(mesh);
// finally add the sound to the mesh
mesh.add(sound);
