You could run an external program to play a sound.  For example,
playsound, from macports.  http://www.macport.org

  (shell-command  "/opt/local/bin/playsound /usr/local/share/sounds/key.wav")


Notice that advices on a subr such as self-insert-command are not called
when the subr is called from C code.  So you'd have to use
pre-command-hook or post-command-hook.
