It looks like some of the code got copied and duplicated.

It might just be something that happened while posting, but if this is what your challenge code really looks like, you must have had some editing error and you might need to restart the challenge.

Otherwise, you seem to be on task 3. When I try your code in the challenge (without the duplicated parts), the challenge responds with this message:

Bummer! You need to pass 'bikeBell' to the getElementById method in order to select the <audio> element, like this: document.getElementById('bikeBell').play();

That seems like a pretty explicit hint, why not try doing what it says?
