You make an trigger_multiple and an ambient_generic, Set the sound in ambient_generic.
Go to the I/O of the trigger_multiple and add an output on the ambient_generic to play sound.

Ok, Here it is explained a bit better:
Create an ambient_generic.
On Name, type anything you will remember, For example: awesomesound.
Now go to Sound Name and press Browse...
In this example I used Scout.NeedDispenser01
Now make a trigger brush where you want it to be able to be played.
(tools/toolstrigger), Press CTRL-T to bind it to an entity.
Select trigger_multiple in the drop-down menu on the top.
Go to outputs, Add... and the following:
My output named: OnStartTouch
Target entitys named: the ambient_generic, I used awesomesound.
Via this output: PlaySound
Works perfectly for me, If you have a problem hearing it, Increase the volume on the ambient_generic.
... i know how to do it but PlaySound wont show when i put it in the outputs(as in goes RED) and doesnt function
PlaySound wouldn't come up in the Outputs. In Outputs you'd want OnStartTouch, as that Output is what your trigger_multiple is firing. Choose OnStartTouch, then for "Targets entities named" type in the name of your ambient_generic, then for "Via this input" choose PlaySound. I think you're just confusing inputs and outputs, which can seem arbitrary in the beginning. Your target_multiple fires an output, that output goes into the input of another entity, which in the case of your ambient_generic would then "output" a sound.
