For example: s=Map[Play[Sin[#*2*Pi*t],{t,0,1},DisplayFunction\[Rule]Identity]&,{440,550}] Sound@(s/.Sound[x_]->x)//Show BTW, if you want to get decent quality sound out of Mathematica, you should use the SampleDepth option and possibly SampleRate option to more realistic values, and if you have sounds of varying intensity (which you don't in your example), you really need to set a PlayRange, otherwise Mathematica sets the gain so that the loud parts overload! It is amazing what a difference that makes - the defaults were appropriate about 15 years ago! David Bailey dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
