The game manual states that any decoration that doesn’t affect the performance of the robot may be added.

Teams may add non-functional decorations provided that these do not affect the robot
performance in any significant way or affect the outcome of the match.

So, due to the low amount of memory on the cortex, are we allowed to have a separate system on the robot (eg. an arduino) to house and play sound files that would just be for effect (ie. theme music to play during the match)?

No this is not legal. An arduino is not a decoration.
