Title: BBC free downloadable archive of sound effects
Post by: Zoidberg on January 07, 2023, 1239 UTC

The BBC have made freely available their archive of tens of thousands of sound effects, categorized and searchable. Many lengths, playable onsite and downloadable. Top audio quality.

If you've ever tried to build your own library of sound effects, Foley sounds, background and ambient sounds and noises from a hodge podge of online sources, including stripping audio from YouTube, you'll appreciate how convenient this is.

The local library had a partial CD collection of those early in the century. The barn sounds were how I was able to put together "Mad Cow Radio". Good stuff.

I still have a few of the original BBC sound effects LPs.
