How to play notification sound on website since google autoplay policy change


I've been trying to short beep for a notification on website but google autoplay policy change does not allow me to do so what should I do. I've seen so many sites still doing this like facebook chat etc.

I've tried this with no success (also tried with element):

function beep(vol, freq, duration){
v=a.createOscillator()
u=a.createGain()

u.connect(a.destination)
u.gain.value=vol*0.01
v.start(a.currentTime)
v.stop(a.currentTime+duration*0.001);

beep(vol, freq, duration);
