`SOUND` waits for the duration of the sound, so it's synchronous. Note however that if you use `PLAY "MB"` at some point to play sounds in the background that also impacts `SOUND` commands, so it's possible to have them play in the background (potentially by accident). That behavior was recently fixed in QB64-PE v3.2.0, so if you use a version older than that `SOUND` won't respect the `PLAY "MB"` setting and will always wait for the sound to finish.
