File f = new File(soundFilePath, soundFileName);
byte[] soundFileByteArray = new byte[f.length()];
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
fis.read(soundFileByteArray);

Alternatively, if you can use Apache common IO library, the FileUtils class contains a readFileToByteArray method for reading a file into a byte array in one line:

byte[] bytes = FileUitls.readFileToByteArray(file);
