how do I add a sound to a tabBadge unread message count when it updates in ionic3

I have a tabBadge that counts new unread messages.

tabs.html

<ion-tab [root]="messages" tabTitle="Messages" tabIcon="chatboxes" tabBadgeStyle="danger" tabBadge=""></ion-tab>

tabs.ts

getUnreadMessagesCount() {
  if (this.unreadMessagesCount) {
    if (this.unreadMessagesCount > 0) {
      return this.unreadMessagesCount;
    }
  }
  return null;
}

What I would like to do is insert a short sound or beep whenever the unread message count is increased. I would prefer not to use cordova-plugin-nativeaudio as this has not been updated in 2 years. Is there a simple solution to a sound without a plugin?
