Also, keep in mind that it is recommended you don't use hover buttons, as
most systems are not shipped with Java anymore, and the user must physically
download and install Java on their computer.

Also, many people disable the use of Java for security reasons.

Is the OP talking about "interactive buttons" or the java applet buttons?

The original hover (java applet) buttons don't appear to be a feature in
FP2003, only Interactive Buttons which use Javascript (not Java).

Through the I.B. wizard there seems to be no way to insert a "on hover"
sound, or whatever the OP was asking about.

FP2003 help files refer to "Hover" and "Interactive" buttons as one and the
same thing, not differentiating between the two.

The only reference I found directly relating to the OP's question is this
and it refers to the java applet hover buttons not the Interactive Buttons
in FP2003.

Add a sound to a hover button
This procedure applies only to a hover button that you created by
using an earlier version of Microsoft FrontPage.

1.. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design
..
2.. Right-click the hover button that you want to add a sound effect
to, and then click Hover Button Properties on the shortcut menu.
3.. Click Custom.
4.. In the Play sound area, do one of the following:
a.. To play the sound effect when a site visitor clicks the hover
button, click Browse next to the On click box, locate and click the sound
file, and then click Open.
a.. To play the sound effect when a site visitor points to the
hover button, click Browse next to the On hover box, locate and click the
sound file, and then click Open.
Note Because hover buttons are actually Java applets, you can only
use .au format sound files for sound effects; you cannot use .midi or .wav
files. Furthermore, the .au files must be in 8-bit, 8000 Hz, mono, u-law
format.
 
While normally not recommended to use hover buttons for a number of
reasons..it is still possible to add them in FrontPage 2003. This is from
the help files:

His subject line said hover buttons. Therefore, I addressed hover buttons.

They are available in FP 2003, but you have to look for them. Here's how:

The other link I provided explains how to add sound to hover buttons.
