'SoundInstance' is abstract; cannot be instantiated

Hi, I've been trying to make a minecraft mod that plays an audio file when I'm idle, and since I don't know anything about coding, and don't enough braincells to learn (trust me, I've tried a couple times), I've had to use AI. 14 hours later, and 100 something errors fixed, I'm left with a single one neither the AI or I can figure out. 'SoundInstance' is abstract; cannot be instantiated

package com.idlereminder;

import net.minecraft.client.MinecraftClient;
import net.minecraft.client.sound.SoundManager;
import net.minecraft.client.sound.SoundInstance;
import net.minecraft.sound.SoundEvent;

public class AlertSound {

    private final SoundEvent soundEvent;
    private SoundInstance soundInstance;

    public AlertSound(SoundEvent soundEvent) {
        this.soundEvent = soundEvent;
        this.soundInstance = new SoundInstance(soundEvent, 1.0f); // This is the line the error points to
    }

    public void playSound() {
        if (soundInstance != null) {
            SoundManager soundManager = MinecraftClient.getInstance().getSoundManager();
            soundManager.play(soundInstance);
        }
    }

    public void stopSound() {
        if (soundInstance != null) {
            SoundManager soundManager = MinecraftClient.getInstance().getSoundManager();
            soundManager.stop(soundInstance);
        }
    }
}

package com.idlereminder;

import net.minecraft.client.MinecraftClient;
import net.minecraft.client.sound.SoundManager;
import net.minecraft.client.sound.SoundInstance;
import net.minecraft.sound.SoundEvent;

public class AlertSound {

    private final SoundEvent soundEvent;
    private SoundInstance soundInstance;

    public AlertSound(SoundEvent soundEvent) {
        this.soundEvent = soundEvent;
        this.soundInstance = new SoundInstance(soundEvent, 1.0f); // This is the line the error points to
    }

    public void playSound() {
        if (soundInstance != null) {
            SoundManager soundManager = MinecraftClient.getInstance().getSoundManager();
            soundManager.play(soundInstance);
        }
    }

    public void stopSound() {
        if (soundInstance != null) {
            SoundManager soundManager = MinecraftClient.getInstance().getSoundManager();
            soundManager.stop(soundInstance);
        }
    }
}

Have tried using SimpleSoundInstance, but

import net.minecraft.client.sound.SimpleSoundInstance;

import net.minecraft.client.sound.SimpleSoundInstance;

didn't work. If anyone could help me figure out how to make it not abstract, it would be very appreciated.

You can’t get instance of an abstract class. From that error the SoundInstance class is an abstract class. You can only make subclasses of abstract classes I believe so extends SoundInstance
