audio when an update occurs in a div

Hi,

I want to make a sound when a change occurs inside a div tag, i have some formats for the audio (.ogg,.mp3,.wav). I don't want to show the player controls, only play the sound each time the div changes, any idea?

This seems to work with modern browsers in a way that makes sense. The audio is loaded by the browser but not played until the checkbox is clicked. The horse noise is only played as the hidden div is made visible.
