It may be worthwhile to have a look at the OLPC archive:

Cecile,

In addition to Brian's sources, you also might be able to find sounds you are looking for in Laurie Heller's environmental sound recording database ( but I am not sure if tearing and cracking sounds are included). http://titan.cog.brown.edu:8080/AuditoryLab/data-files

regards,

Valeriy

Hi Claire,

Valeriy Shafiro and I have been collecting and gathering norms on a variety of such sounds. We plan to put it in a seachable database, but that is in the TBD file. If you tell me off-list how many examples of each you want, I can make them available to you.

Also, there are databases of free sounds, such as www.soundsnap.com and http://www.freesound.org but it can take a while to find exactly what you want.

Dear list, I'm looking for tearing sounds (like tearing cloth) and crackling sounds (like paper). Does anyboy know where I can find a database of such recordings? Thanks.
