How do I add a sound when a button is clicked? - jQuery

I have a diceRoll() function and I want to add a nice dice rolling sound effect when the roll button is clicked.

Any ideas? I have done some googling but nothing that looks like its what I need.

Thanks

    //diceroll function
    function diceRoll() {
        return randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 20) + 1;
    }

    //create a diceroll event
    $('#dice-button').on('click', function(){
      diceRoll();
      $('#dice-div').html(randomNumber);
    })

Ok, I figured it out with a little bit more googling and some help from SO. See the HTML and JS below.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11562509/adding-audio-to-click-event

          <audio id="mysoundclip" preload="auto">
              <source src="./assets/audio/ONEDICE.WAV"> </source>
          </audio>

    //create a diceroll event
    $('#dice-button').on('click', function(){
      diceRoll();
      $('#dice-div').html(randomNumber);
      //dice roll sound
      var audio = $("#mysoundclip")[0];
      audio.play();
    })

Here's an easy way that requires no HTML:

const rollSound = new Audio("./assets/audio/ONEDICE.WAV");
$('#dice-button').click(e => rollSound.play());

And a non-jQuery version:

const rollSound = new Audio("./assets/audio/ONEDICE.WAV");
document.getElementById('dice-button').addEventListener("click", e => rollSound.play());
