Before you print

Suggest headphones on the sign

People scan in quiet places. A short line asking them to use headphones saves an awkward moment in a gallery.

Keep the file small

Long uncompressed audio takes ages on mobile data and people give up before it starts.

Common questions

Does the audio play automatically?

Usually not. Most phone browsers block autoplay, so the person taps play. That is normal and expected.
