Make a behavior MC i.e. one with no graphics only code. Make it three frames long and put this code in:

frame1 (label "SetDelay")
Time = Math.abs(Math.Random()*100);
Counter = 0;

frame2 (label "LoopStart")
Counter = ++Counter;

frame3
if (Counter == Time){
(play sound) // not sure how to play a sound from A/S if it is not possible then stick all your sounds in individual MCs and call the MC using tellTarget
gotoAndPlay("SetDelay");
}
gotoAndPlay("LoopStart");


Tis a bit confusing but the MC loops round for a random amount of time and then plays a sound and starts looping again for a different amount of time.
Figure out what range of delays you would like this to work for and adjust te code in the first line of frame 1 to suit e.g.

delays between 3 and 6 seconds would be this:
Time = Math.abs((Math.random() * 36) + 36);
For a 12 fps movie

delays between 8 and 15 seconds would be this:
Time = Math.abs((Math.random() * 84) + 96);
For a 12 fps movie

Let me know if you need help with any of this
