How to Upload a Sound Clip to Facebook
Facebook allows users to upload pictures and videos to their profile, but there is currently no option for uploading sound clips. However, you can still share sound clips on your Facebook profile by uploading the clip to an online audio hosting service, such as SoundCloud. When you share sound clips uploaded to SoundCloud on your Facebook profile, a Flash streaming audio player will be embedded directly to your profile, similar to how links to YouTube are shared.
