You can realize this feature with using toast notifications for Windows Phone 8 with Update 3 (OS version number 8.0.10492). In that OS version you can add custom sound to toast notification. Sound files can be in WAV, WMA, or MP3 format, must be less than 10 seconds long, and must be stored in the app’s installation directory or local storage folder.
