why cant I play a sound that I created with Instance.New?

local tool = script.Parent.Parent

local sound = Instance.new("Sound", tool)
sound.SoundId = 1837461008
sound.Volume = 0.5
sound.MaxDistance = 100

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
    Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		sound:Play()
	wait(1)		
    end)
end)

The problem is that your not addressing the SoundId properly, The way to do it is

sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://1837461008"
