ace Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hi! I am looking to try and find some free to use ambient sound effects on the web, including things like a pub, a science laboritory, birds singing etc.. Anyone know where I might be able to download them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickLee Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Not being perverse - is there any reason why you can't use the standard effects libraries (BBC etc) available on CD?If neccessary, it's a work of moments to turn them into .wav and .mp3 files for your PC.

ace Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 It is for a little Ameture production being done by some friends of mine.. and as such I don;t have access to any resources like that.. :-( Unless someone wants to mp3 some tracks for me.. Although I don;t know the legality of that!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickLee Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I recommend you pop to your local library and see what BBC Sound effects CDs you can dig out. --N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Russell Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 two places that you can look are Sound Dogs or Sound-Effects-Library,I believe the latter has all of the BBC CD's on the site available for use. I have used both sites quite a lot in the past and have usually been able to find what I need. HTH Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Although I don;t know the legality of that!! When you purchace the BBC Sound Effects CD's (apx £45 ea.) you are paying a certain amount on each CD for the rights to use the recorded effects. The BBC Essential sound effect range, was a reasonably priced smaller range of sound effects which IIRC has permission for you to use for personal use only. I don't know about the legalities of using the CDs from the library without purchasing the permissions. You might be better to use one of the online sound effects libraries, eg. Sounddogs wheras you can preview pay if you like then douwnoad sound effects on an indervidual basis - you then get to use the effect royalty free. Alternitavly, pick up a portable Dat / MD and a mic and record them yourselves. ;) Edit I couldn't see Peter's post when I started mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
