You want it to play a sound when the user goes outside the border? Yikes. Well, all you'd need to do is check for the mouse coordinates and compare them to the coordinates of the drawing area.


% X1, Y1 - bottom left corner of drawing area
% X2, Y2 - top right corner of drawing area
% mx, my - mouse coordinates
if mx = X2 and my = Y2 then
    % play your sound here
end if

But keep in mind, that every time the mouse goes out of the drawing area, constantly playing the sound until the mouse goes back within the specified borders. You might want to set it up so that it plays a sound when the mouse first leaves the drawing area, and plays again only if the mouse goes back inside and leaves again. Especially if you use turings sound command, which can be brutally painful.
