What is the lowest cost board that can play wave-file?
I think that it is needed an analog out pin to play wave file. I know that PLC 1768 can do that, but is there a cheaper borad than that?

At what sample rate?
For simple audio playback something like this https://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/en/audio-fx-mini-sound-board.html is normally easier than using a general purpose micro.
If coordination is required between the audio and other inputs/outputs then you can use the cheapest mbed you can find to control the trigger pin on the audio board.

It all depends on the quality you want and the length of the WAV files.
8-bit@8KHz WAV files will take about 64KB/s, so if you want some lo-fi, short audio clips, you can even play them straight out of the micro thru a R2R ladder.
I'd like to change the tune according to the state of the switch and the vehicle speed pulse.The PWM function can make a simple sound. But I'd like to make a little more complicated sound.
