What is Sound File Size?

Sound file size is the storage an uncompressed recording requires, found by multiplying the sample rate by the sample resolution by the length of the recording in seconds, giving an answer in bits that is divided by 8 for bytes.

This definition is part of the Data Representation chapter in Cambridge O Level Computer Science.
