I don’t think this is currently possible.

Seems like you have asked many questions related to playing sound. Unless you use an action to play a designated sound or an audio component, I’m not aware of workarounds.

UX-wise, I’m against giving people background music without giving them a way to turn it off. It can be annoying to some users.

My iPhone has a very convenient function to deal with that. It’s called Silent Mode 😆 🤣 🙉
