I see you also reached out on https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/383003/play-audio-files-in-visualforce-page-which-are-saved-in-files-object/383014#383014. Does the solution provided help?

If the file is attached as type "File" then you need to give permission for playing the file in browser as below.
Go to Setup-> File Upload and Download Security->edit and update the mp3 setting as "execute in browser". Then only you will be able to play the file in browser.
Now go to file which you want to play and click on download mp3 button and you will see the url copy the url in the vf page. The Url looks like below. 
<source src="https://domain-dev-ed.file.force.com/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/0685j00000Bj2HF?asPdf=false&operationContext=CHATTER"/>

If the file is upload as type attachment then anyway the file url will play as it is as the id starts with "00P".
