Hard to help with so little info.
You downloaded from your computer? Look in documents or Downloads folder on your mac.
Your iPhone? You cannot download files form Safari on iPhone.
Somewhere else? Please explain
Where did you look? Any info about your issue?

Safari on an iPhone cannot download audio files. You need to find another way to get the file on your iPhone. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the audio file? Knowing that will help us help you.

If you downloaded it through Safari on your iPhone, then that's where it is unless you specifically moved it to another App.
Audio files that Safari can understand such as MP3s or Wav files will simply play in Safari and there's no way to save them.
If you got the player in Safari after downloading the audio file, then that's all you get, and no way to save it.
Otherwise, a completed download on Safari on an iPhone should show a screen similar to this:
From there you can use the Open In options at the top to save it to a particular App.
The Music App will never be an option for downloads though.
What exactly are you attempting to do with this audio file? What type of Audio file is it?

What type of audio file? WAV? MP3? WMA?
To download audio files to the iPad, you will need not only a Player App (again the default music app cannot be used for downloaded Apps), but also a downloader App. Though most downloader Apps include players.
Personally I would suggest Moli Player for audio downloads, and playback.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moliplayer-free-movie-music/id488691300?mt=8
You can use its built in browser, to download the audio file directly into the App. It supports many many media formats.
