From what I'm reading, it seems the GBA basically played 8bit samples that are premade. And of course, it had the original Gameboy sound hardware.
It seems that there are some soundfonts that exist out there for the GBA, so messing with those might be a place to start.

For sound effects, there's a tool called BFXR (a better version of Dr.Petter's SFXR tool) that lets you generate square wave / noise sound effects using a list of parameters, and it notably has a "randomize" function where you can just mash the button until you get something interesting. Perfect for game jams and retro projects.

For music, I use MilkyTracker. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get past it, you'll be able to make chiptunes as well as sampled tunes like .mod music, very similar to tunes used in Gameboy Advance, SNES, etc.
