Download Sounds For Free

Soungle

For folks like me who are into audio production, you know how difficult it can be to find a good sound effect to use in a project. Finding the sound is hard enough, then if you do find one, you have to worry about the royalties. I found a great website to help solve this delemma, and to bring hours of fun to any sound effects collector.

Soungle.com is a site where users can search for sounds. Search for the sounds of melodious birds such as the thrush bird or blue jay. Or users can download sound effects such as door bells and rushing water. Soungle.com is easy to use. First users must type in a key word such as "thunder". Soungle.com will produce a list of thunder sounds including thunder and rain. Each result will have a brief description along with the frame rate, length for the frame and bit rate. The user can preview all of the sounds and the sound effects that the user wishes to use they can download. If you are producing music or editing a film Soungle.com can be a very useful source because you can find many different sounds and sound effects. Users can donate sounds by listing their name and website, uploading a WAV file and adding keywords.

Absolute Sound Effects Archive

From the site: "One of the largest collections of free sounds on the net, with over 1,980 high quality, attractive sound effects for use in web pages, games and multimedia applications."

I like this site because of the layout. All sounds are easy to find and download. There's even an option to email a sound to yourself.
