    16,016 BBC Sound effects for free

    These 16,016 BBC Sound Effects are made available by the BBC in WAV format to download for use under the terms of the RemArc Licence. The Sound Effects are BBC copyright, but they may be used for personal, educational or research purposes, as detailed in the license.

    http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/

    If you click on about 7 or 8 of the footsteps effects on page two it sounds like that piece for metronomes by Ligeti. In fact clicking on a few random effects on just about any page creates some pretty weird collages.

    Yet the BBC wanted to charge us a minimum $100,000 UPFRONT to license their Robert Wyatt documentary to release on DVD (and which RW really wanted us to try and make happen).

    Well, THANKS, Auntie Beeb!.....

    Thank you Thank you Thank you.. also bookmarked!!
    I've been using a 2 cd set I found in a closeout bin at Walgreen's drugs many years ago.
    Has come in handy in a couple of songs, so this is much appreciated.
    I always get a little worried about downloading sound effect freebies from the internet, but this looks good.

    Meanwhile in Finland, the Finnish national public broadcasting company has opened up their 30-year old archive of real farts to the public.

    It seems to be down.

    Last night I was playing one of the bubbling noise effects to my bird and she started doing it back at me.
