This is so cool. I was just searching for a cat meow sound for a personal project today and was so annoyed that most of the top sites returned on Google and DDG were super spammy, ad-riddled atrocities. This is amazing, they have so many cat meows!
I can't figure out if its possible to download the entire archive anywhere though..

Wikipedia also has a list of list of pointers to different sites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Free_sound_resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Free_sound_resources These days, I wouldn't even consider any site that doesn't easily show the license of the available files. Needing to hunt for copyright information is a smell.
- NKCSS 6y agoYou can just scrape it if you wanted to; grab the src of all the <audio> elements and page through them all. Use the names/descriptions for proper naming.
- NKCSS 6y agoI just checked; the site uses this CSV to build the UI: http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv So no need to actually scrape; you can download the CSV and download all the individual files from that. base url: http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/ http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/
- aaronpkelly 6y agoThanks, I used that CSV to download all the WAV files, but the final size was... very large... so I converted them all to OPUS :) The total size is now ~17G. If anyone wants the converted files, I made a .torrent: https://tinyurl.com/y6xn8ksj https://tinyurl.com/y6xn8ksj
