Decorative audio text alternative (decorative-audio)

Decorative <audio> elements must include aria-hidden or role="presentation" and should not provide any text alternatives or fallback content.


Non-hidden decorative audio:

This <audio> element is decorative, but is not using aria-hidden=”true” or role="presentation":


Note: Impossible to implement because it requires using AI / human to determine whether the audio element is truly decorative, and then checking for the presence of aria-hidden.
