It's not tied to Gnome, you can install it wherever you want. https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Decibels

I was annoyed that Gnome didn't have a very basic "sound file player", everything polished wanted to be something more, like support for music libraries, etc. I downloaded a single wav file, I want to listen what's in it, there was no perfect app for that.

Decibels has already existed for ages. I use it as my default audio player for random sound files and Gapless for albums

Proceed with these changes to the user installation? [Y/n]:

That's a lot of megabytes for a simple audio player.
