The easiest (and might I add kindest) way to put sound into your document is through a simple link. You can link to sound files the same way you link to any other file, using the anchor tag. Let's use a sound file called "bomb.wav" for the example. It would be easy to link to this file the following way:
<a href="bomb.wav"> Sound </a>
That link would look like this. Feel free to click on it.
Sound
When you attach files this way, it allows the client (or user) to click on the files when they're ready for them. It also allows the files to be saved. If you wanted to save bomb.wav to your computer, just right-click (or click and hold for Mac users) the link.

Of course, anything that can be made into a link can link to a sound file. This includes pictures. The problem is that on older browsers, a new window will open to play the music. I'm not sure there is any way to avoid this on older browsers.
