✓ Accepted answer

Play and Stop are both methods of Sound. In other words, they're functions. Basic syntax requires parentheses to wrap the function call as a form of providing arguments to the given parameters. Even without parameters that are built into functions, this practice is still mandatory across all languages. To fix this issue, place a pair of parentheses at the respective places.

Sound:Play()
Sound:Stop()

The correct notation is :Play() and :Stop()
