Re: [Icad] Pointers to snoring sounds?

[Milena Droumeva <mvdroume@xxxxxx>]

Bruce,

I don't know if you mean the World Soundscape Project, but in case you 
didn't - it was an initiative in the 70s led by R.M. Schafer and Barry 
Truax...Barry still hosts the huge library of recordings of contextual, 
environmental sounds at SFU - a large part of it is digitized and 
available royalty-free, as well as indexed (so you can find specific 
instances of sound). If you are interested, I can probably help make the 
contact with Barry, of you could approach him directly at truax@xxxxxx
Hope this helps - your project sounds interesting!
