  A React Hook for playing sound effects

As some of you may know, sounds can only be played back after the user has interacted with the document. And this seems to be exactly where it is becoming tricky. I tried a very promising library called use-sound. However as it turns out it is currently impossible to trigger a sound effect on useEffect with this, as tracked in this issue: https://github.com/joshwcomeau/use-sound/issues/100. Somehow it works whenever the dev server hot reloads - and then it is really snappy, but I can't make it work on initial page load.
