What is WAV file?

A WAV file is an audio file saved in WAVE format. It is the standard digital audio file format to store waveform data.

WAV files contain audio recordings with different frequencies, but they are often saved in the 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo format.

Additional data

WAVE format is based on the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), a file container for storing video and sound.

WAV files are similar to .AIF files, which are stored in the Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF). Most WAV files are stored and played on Windows devices.
