I think all of these are available on piratebay. When I was into sound production, I found lots of high quality dumps there. There's way more than 16k floating around on piratebay, more like 500k+. And the quality of some of them is amazing.
Never used 'em for commercial applications, obviously, because hobby. But it's a lot of fun remixing them.
Another interesting source of sound effects are pirated games. Last of Us in particular has wonderful, stunning, horrifying sound effects, example of which I wish I'd saved.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoAs a kid in the 90s, whenever I played a game (particularly demo versions of a lot of games, which in that era were distributed on CDs sold with videogame magazines), I'd eventually look into its folder and search for assets. For years, I kept a collection of interesting .wav files I found in these games, because I wanted to make a video game of my own. I'd also exchange these .wavs with a friend at school, who kept his own collection for the same reason. I vaguely remember using few sound effects from Star Trek: Generations and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith in a school play around 5th or 6th grade :). The sound of the base hangar door from Mysteries of the Sith is still etched deeply in my mind (along with surrounding dialogue). (None one of us knew the concept of intellectual property back then.)
