Why does this audio loop?

Question

I have an ajax call in my code, when a new message comes it plays an audio file but the audio file is playing over and over again even if i didn't set it to loop.

Here's the <audio> I used:

document.getElementById("notifsound").innerHTML = '<audio autoplay><source src="./uploads/notif.mp3" type="audio/mp3"><p></p></audio>';

I am not sure but I don't thing it does. The message div only reloads once. — , Mar 14 '16 at 16:27
is it possible you are getting many/periodic notifications which trigger that sound? — Igbanam, Mar 14 '16 at 16:39

Add loop=false as an attribute to the HTML audio tag

It loops more frequently now. It looped like every 2 seconds before – Mar 14 '16 at 16:31
