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
<http://www.stonewashed.net/sfx.html>://www.stonewashed.net/sfx.html
<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,

I hope these help
