Playing audio without audio tag

Question

Is it possible to play audio without the audio tag and just using javascript?

I'm injecting script through a tinyMce editor since I don't have access to a site's backend and it doesn't support the audio tag for a client. She just wants a simple sound when you hover over an image. I have it all setup however, the restriction of not having an audio tag is tripping me up.

I am hosting the audio files on a remote site since I cannot upload them here. Is there perhaps a way to leverage that remote site? I've never run into this issue before and can't really find anything on it.

You can use this:

mySound = new Audio('sound.mp3');
mySound.play()

Here is a link to its specification - HTMLAudioElement
