Why isn't the audio working for my Wheel and keys?

  function StartHorn() { document.getElementbyId('StartHorn').play();}
  function StartNos() { document.getElementById('StartNos').play();}

This is the code I wrote and when I try the audio only the StartNos one works, why is that? I can't see why the other 2 aren't working

The other two have getElementbyId with a lower case "b".

:point_right: It must be spelled getElementById (with upper case "B") to work.
