Matlab includes a demo sample of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. If you run
load handel;
The sample will be stored in the variable y. If you then create an audio player, you can use play to play the sample.
player = audioplayer(y, Fs);
play(player);
My guess (without seeing your code) is that your sample code loads and plays the handel sample as above.
Solution: You need to find the offending lines and comment them out.
In a comment, you say you are using the code from this answer. On itsown, this code does not play any sounds. However, here are the possible locations where you might have added a play function.
Spot 1:
The first block creates two files: 'handel1.wav' and 'handel2.wav'
% create some data (write waves)
load handel.mat; %predifined sound in matlab stored in .mat
audiowrite('handel1.wav',y,Fs); %write the first wave file
audiowrite('handel2.wav',y,Fs); %write the second
clear y Fs %clear the data
As I described above, you can use y to play the sample at any point before the clear command. After the clear command and before any further code, it is not possible to play the sample.
Spot 2:
% reading section
filedir = dir('*.wav'); %list the current folder content for .wav file
Y = cell(1,length(filedir)); %pre-allocate Y in memory (edit from @ Werner)
FS = Y; %pre-allocate FS in memory (edit from @ Werner)
for ii = 1:length(filedir) %loop through the file names
%read the .wav file and store them in cell arrays
[Y{ii,1}, FS{ii,1}] = audioread(filedir(ii).name);
end
In or after the for-loop, you can play the sample with
player = audioplayer(Y{ind_wav,1}, Fs);
play(player);
Where ind_wav is either 1 or 2
Spot 3:
If you have run this code previously, the Y variable may still be in your workspace.
To remove it, run
clear Y
