The difference is that this site downloads the whole file, all 2MB of it, and then plays it - in Firefox anyway. YouTube and similar stream media files - download it in small sections as it plays.

I suppose the BL do that because the sound clips are short and of low quality.

I found that uBlock Origin on Android blocks by default media files greater than 50KB; I can change the limit by website. I expect other ad-blockers do the same, though I'm not sure why.

My guess is that if the site blames Flash for not playing then you do have Flash installed.
