I need my webpage to play an audio clip without the user interact with the page, I know is poor UX and shouldn't be done that way, but that's what my clients are asking for.

I also know browsers have blocked this feature, so I would appreciate if someone can give me an advice of how to 'hack' this rule (something with events for example)

Chrome and Firefox disabled autoplay features, and it's not currently possible AFAIK:
