Trying to use audio causes errors when trying to use in an 'if' statement

Question

I have spent days stuck on this problem and I'm sure it's a simple solution but my brain is just frying itself right now and I really need help on this one.

What I'm trying to do: When the player presses up on the Dpad on a controller or a key on the keyboard, a sound will play.

The problem: C# is throwing errors. Everything I try from researching this problem throws more errors and the manual isn't helping either.

My code:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.Audio;
 
 public class DistractScript : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public AudioSource Sound;
     public AudioClip Distract;
     
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
 
     }
 
     void Distraction()
     {
 
         if (Input.GetButton("Y Button"))
         {
 
             AudioClip.Play;
             Debug.Log("Player used Distraction");
         }
 
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
 
     }
 }

The error:

Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, await and new object expressions can be used as a statement.

Now, I have tried both AudioClip and AudioSource to see if it's an issue, because I have seen others use audio in statements like this before, so I'm certain my n00b brain is the problem here, because it seems so simple but I keep failing on this and I need someone more experienced to point out where I'm going wrong here.

Hi,

You should try something like this :

     void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Y))
         {
             Debug.Log("Ykey was pressed.");
         }
     }
