I have this script to get new messages from my database

setInterval(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "get_chat.php",
            dataType: "html",
            success: function (response) {
                $(".msg_area").html(response);
            }
        });
    }, 2000);

I am try to add a sound to it as soon as new data is added to the database but when i add to the script above, it plays the audio every 2 seconds(i think this is because its in the setInterval)

setInterval(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "get_chat.php",
            dataType: "html",
            success: function (response) {
                $(".msg_area").html(response);
                var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
                audio.play();
            }
        });
    }, 2000);

So please i ask. How do i play sounds only when a new data has been added to the database?

Cache the last response and pare it with the new version to determine whether or not to play the audio file.

var lastResponse = ''

setInterval(function() {
  $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "get_chat.php",
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(response) {
      $(".msg_area").html(response)
      if (lastResponse && response !== lastResponse) {
        var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3')
        audio.play()
      }
      lastResponse = response
    }
  });
}, 2000);

Edit: If you want audio to play the first time a response es in, remove lastResponse && from the code above.

First of all , sure it plays every 2s because of setInterval()

You need to pare num of messages rows in your database before response and after.. for me the simple thing is to pass it inside hidden <div> in your last message

setInterval(function () {
        var message_num = // get the number from the last message
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "get_chat.php",
            dataType: "html",
            success: function (response) {
                $(".msg_area").html(response);
                var new_message_num = // get the number from the last message after response
                if(new_message_num > message_num){
                  var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
                  audio.play();
                }
            }
        });
    }, 2000);
