The feature was spotted by WABetaInfo and will have a total of three-speed levels – 1x, 1.5x and 2x. So, depending on one’s preference.

As per Mashable, a user will be able to play the audio messages at any one of these speeds. This is great for times when a user receives an audio message from a friend or a person who usually talks slowly and wants to speed it up.
