No, you don´t need DCC to have sound, but you need a special power pack like the MRC Tech 6 sound controller if you want to adjust the sound to your needs. A lot of sound equipped locos do not perform well on DC, check the product review pages here for reference. When you go sound, you have covered more than half of the way down the route to DCC. There are good DCC starter packs which don´t cost an arm and a leg. Improved performance and controllable sound features are well worth the price, IMHO. And maybe you will get a second engine you´d like to run as well...
