To access them, tap the smiley face next to Messengers text bar with the flashing cursor.
From there, tap the speaker icon to find the current list of Soundmojis.

Twenty-three were available for me, and Facebook says it plans to regularly update the library.
Tapping a Soundmoji will let you preview the sound.
you’re free to tell an image is a Soundmoji by the soundwave shapes around the image.

Some of the sounds are very obvious, but pretty hilarious if used in the right context.
So far, it seems like Soundmojis might not be fully available outside of mobile.
