You can use the "play" command in HC to play any sound.  The Boing sound
built into HC is an example of this.  The syntax of the play command is:

play "voice" [ tempo ] [ "notes" ]

For example, 'play "boing"'
will play the boing sample.  You can also play notes based on a sample
by using the optional notes.  The notes are specified in the following form:

notename accidental octave duration

Notename can be a thru g, accidental is # and b specify sharp and flat,
octave is a number specifying the pitch of the scale (4 is the "middle c"
scale) and duration specifies the relative time value of the note played:

w	whole note
h	half note
q	quarter note
e	eight note
s	16th note
t	32th note
x	64th note

and an optional . or 3 following duration can be used to specify a dotted
or triplet not.

Now, and example:

play "boing" tempo 200 "c4e c dq c e# eh"

The complete definition of the play command is in "Hypercard Script
Language Guide" available from APDA.  Most of this article is from 
the guide, page 7-11 (working draft 4)
