It does however adds alot to the budget to get the WebDev licences

Can you try copying your files to:
C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main\YourFolder

and using the url:
http://<Ignition IP or hostname>:8088/main/YourFolder/YourAudio.wav

This is how we store cached versions of map tiles locally without webdev, but i believe this might be wiped when upgrading? Not sure... However we recently did a patch update from 8.1.9? to 8.1.15 and these files weren't deleted.

@Paul.Scott had some words around this here:

Increase the tile cache size for map perspective component

I’m not super excited on the premise of storing things in the webserver\webapps\main\ directory, for two reasons. Our installers delete that directory on upgrade, so you’d need to be mindful about managing those tiles yourself on upgrade I’m not an expert on the matter, but my understanding of how files in that directory get served up is sort of a byproduct of some stuff Jetty does. Meaning, nothing we wrote in our code base is directly facilitating that behavior. The next time we upgrade Jet…

I agree though that the web dev module is expensive when you have a very basic use for it
