Playing background sounds and adding mouse effect on macOS Monterey.

I am interested in adding background sounds to my Mac. I wanted to add music to the background and add mouse click sound effects. I've looked up many times on the internet how to do this and all answers point to System Settings>Accessibility>Audio>Background sounds. However, when I follow this, there are no options for "Background Sounds". I even searched in the search bar on my System Preferences (cause the word "System Settings" does not exist on my mac either, only "System Preferences" exists) and "Background Sounds" does not exist. What happened? Did apple discontinue this preference setting?

My computer is on macOS Monterey Version 12.6.8
