How do I make a sound play once on document ready?

Question

I wanted a nice and simple way to play a sound once, right when the document is ready.

As I searched for clues online I found a lot, but none were that explanatory, so what I am asking is for some help on how to build this on the most browser compatible and light way.

Thanks ;)

Use this Markup

<audio id="sound_tag" src="your_audio_file.wav" preload="auto"></audio>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#sound_tag')[0].play();
    });
</script>
