I doubt that is possible, as sounds needs the be embedded via an
object element. I guess you could script an API of a player or a Java
Applet or a Flash Movie to play when you click a link, but why would
you ever want that?
Some browsers and assistive technology actually play a sound when you
click a link, not a good plan to hijack that functionality.

Back in the days of really useless web features there  was an applet
that a lot of people used which featured a hover effect and a sound,
it also ensured that the page loaded really  slow, the links were not
indexable and the browser crashed a lot.
