Play sounds with javascript
We're going to have a button and when we click it we're going to play a sound.
Source code on github
Demo hosted with gh-pages
Make sound button
<b>index.html</b>
<div class='row text-center' style='margin-top: 50px;'>
<div id="1" class="gridBox btn btn-lg btn-primary">Hey everybody</div>
</div>
I'm using sound.js and for starters using code provided from their website, slightly modified for styling
<b>main.js</b>
$(document).ready(function(){
var preload;
function init() {
if (!createjs.Sound.initializeDefaultPlugins()) {
return;
}
var assetsPath = "";
var sounds = [
{src: "hey_everybody.m4a", id: 1}
];
createjs.Sound.alternateExtensions = ["mp3"]; // add other extensions to try loading if the src file extension is not supported
createjs.Sound.addEventListener("fileload", createjs.proxy(soundLoaded, this)); // add an event listener for when load is completed
createjs.Sound.registerSounds(sounds, assetsPath);
}
function soundLoaded(event) {
//examples.hideDistractor();
var div = document.getElementById(event.id);
}
function stop() {
if (preload != null) {
preload.close();
}
createjs.Sound.stop();
}
function playSound(target) {
//Play the sound: play (src, interrupt, delay, offset, loop, volume, pan)
var instance = createjs.Sound.play(target.id, createjs.Sound.INTERRUPT_NONE, 0, 0, false, 1);
if (instance == null || instance.playState == createjs.Sound.PLAY_FAILED) {
return;
}
instance.addEventListener("complete", function (instance) {
});
}
init();
$('.gridBox').on('click', function(){
playSound(this);
setTimeout(function(){
stop()
}, 2000);
});
});
At the end of the function we call init and listen for clicks. Stop the sound after 2 seconds.

JavaScript on a page runs with the privileges of that origin. One altered library, tag manager, or snippet can read inputs, change what people see, and call your APIs as the user.
