Answer 1

The wave file content is stored in the data field, you may write the content to a file like this:

with open('/tmp/test.wav', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(audio.data)

But this saves to the remote server in which the python is running on. How to download using the browser? – Grommet

Answer 2

You can right click on the audio player and save the audio.

in my case, this works with google colab, not jupyter notebook; but anyway, thanks; I ran code in jupyter notebook to display audio, then upload file to google colab for downloading – Guano

Answer 3

soundfile.write(output_filename, audio_data, sample_rate) 

output_filename: The output filename or a path to the output file
audio_data: The <class 'IPython.lib.display.Audio'> object
sample_rate: Based on your need.

https://pysoundfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#read-write-functions also gives a brief example. This should work whether you use colab/jupyter notebook or not.
