how to get a sound to play from an array(using onItemRightClick ) - 1.12.2 modding

[UM3 F0R TH3 W1N]

So, I am creating a Meme Mod for Minecraft Forge 1.12.2 and decided, to make a item, where if you right click with it, it will play a random meme that I will put in an array. I have the array, and the item class, but I am not sure how I can make it play the random sound from the array. If anyone knows how I can do this, I would be highly appreciated if you could tell me what I have to do. If you could tell me in simple terms, that would be much more helpful but if not, then I will try my best to understand it. Thank You.

How much code for this do you know, have you created the item, have you overrided the method that fires when the item is right clicked, do you know how to play a sound?

List#get(Random#nextInt(List#size()))

Or in simpler terms I assume you know how to get an Item out of a ArrayList, so you need to generate a psuedo-random number with the Random class that has a maximum of the lists length.

Create a new Random call nextInt(listLength) and then pass the int returned from that into the get method of List/ArrayList

That's partially right, now you just need to pass it into the get method on your list that has the Sounds in it.
