How to find Voice Memos on Time Machine

I am trying to find how to restore old Voice Memos using Time Machine backups. Is there a way to find these on Time Machine? If so, how? I don't know where the actual recordings are stored. I see memos listed in the Voice Memo app. But where those individual sound files are, I have no idea.

iMac 24″, macOS 15.3
