# Import audio files into Unity

> Instructions on how to import audio files into your Unity project.

Import audio files into your Unity project to include custom sounds in your Unity applications.

For a list of the various audio file types Unity supports, refer to [Audio files](/engine/6000.5/manual/audio/files/compatibility.md).

There are multiple ways to import an audio file into your Unity project. Choose one of the following:

* [Import an audio file via the menu](#import-an-audio-file-via-the-menu)
