If you do a google search on 'free sounds effects' you will find a lot
links.  A lot of companies that sell sound effects CDs offer free
ones on the Net.  The quality is variable, but there are some ones
that are usable for research.  One good site is
http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/

A page with a lot of links to free sound effects libraries is
http://www.stonewashed.net/sfx.html

http://www.findsounds.com/
will let you search for a particular sound, specifying sampling rate and file type

Cornell University has a library of natural sounds, http://www.birds.cornell.edu/lns/

I hope these help
