Can an automation result in speakers playing a tone, rather than making an announcement?

Like the title says, I have various automations that result in an announcement of some kind. I’m looking to replace certain announcements with a simple tone that’s played from the speakers.

HI Brian,
Simply play a media file of a tone instead of a tts.
I have a blueprint that might help.

If you just want the action then the code is:

          - continue_on_error: true
            data:
              media_content_id: >-
                https://URL.nabu.casa/local/FILE.mp3
              media_content_type: music
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.vardagsrum_mini
            action: media_player.play_media

Thanks @Hellis81 and @Sir_Goodenough !
