✓ Accepted answer

You're returning a table, as says kingdom5. To get a random thing inside a table, you do:

sound.SoundId = 'rbxassetid://'..GameManager.DeathSounds[math.random(1,#GameManager.DeathSounds)]

How this works: To access a certain thing inside a table, you do table[number] to access, for example, GameManager.DeathSounds[1] returns 131138839.
