You have to go to \Documents\My Games\Fallout4 open Fallout4.ini
Find "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\" and replace it with "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, sound\" without the quotation marks.
(Optional)
This can work with texture mods like The Eyes of Beauty if you make the line read like this:
" 'sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, SOUND\,' " without the quotation marks.
Second step
Drop the folder containing the sounds into \Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data
