Streaming Audio Sound Effects
The other day I was doing a streaming audio project for a school and needed some sound effects.
I found a site called Soungle which provides royality free sound effects.Soungle is a free site, developed by Southern Codes, for finding all kind of sound FX and musical instruments samples on our mega online library.
As different from most of similar sites, Soungle is NOT a Web search engine. It only searches in our growing monster database. Our goals are to keep it simple to use (search, preview and download) and to keep it free.Keyword searches are performed by entering any word or phrase in a search box.
The retrieved results of a keyword search are displayed ten to a page. Clicking on play icon allows you to preview a file. Download button instantly downloads the sound effect or musical instrument sample file. A short description of the sound appears on top of every sound , followed by the frame rate, duration and bit rate.
Remember, all of their sound effects and samples are royalty free for downloading.
What sort of sounds can you search for at Soungle.com?
Users can search for the sounds of melodious birds such as the thrush bird or blue jay. Or users can download sound effects such as door bells and rushing water. Soungle.com is easy to use. First users must type in a key word such as “thunder”. Soungle.com will produce a list of thunder sounds including thunder and rain.
Each result will have a brief description along with the frame rate, length for the frame and bit rate. The user can them preview all of the sounds and the sound effects that the user wishes to use they can download. If you are producing music or editing a film Soungle.com can be a very useful source because you can find many different sounds and sound effects.
Users can donate sounds by listing their name and web, uploading a WAV file and adding keywords.
