You can use react-native-track-player library for audio player.

You can play remote sounds with react-native-sound by specifying a url and not setting the bundle:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Button } from 'react-native'
import Sound from 'react-native-sound'

class RemoteSound extends Component {
  playTrack = () => {
    const track = new Sound('https://www.soundjay.com/button/button-1.mp3', null, (e) => {
      if (e) {
        console.log('error loading track:', e)
      } else {
        track.play()
      }
    })
  }

  render() {
    return <Button title="play me" onPress={this.playTrack} />
  }
}

export default RemoteSound

This will preload the sound and when you press the play button it will play it.

export default class MovieList extends Component {
    componentDidMount(){
      this.hello = new Sound('whoosh.mp3', Sound.MAIN_BUNDLE, (error) => {
        if (error) {
          console.log('failed to load the sound', error);
          return;
        }
      });
    }
    
    
    handlePress() {
      this.hello.play((success) => {
        if (!success) {
          console.log('Sound did not play')
        }
      })
    }

    render() {
        const { movie } = this.props
        return (
            <TouchableOpacity onPress={this.handlePress.bind(this)}>
                <View>
                      <Text>Start</Text>
                </View>
            </TouchableOpacity>
        )
    }
}
