Added: 15 Apr, 2008 (4,944 Views)

FindSounds is an incredibly useful search tool for short sounds and sound effects. Search, listen and download almost any animal, nature or industrial sound you need. To find a specific sound simply enter the term descrbing it (bark, honk, baby cry, ferrari etc.) and click search. Next you will be presented with the search results page (see below) from where you can both play the sounds and see their waveform. Other useful feature is the ability to narrow search results down to sounds that meet certain criteria.

FindSounds, a search engine focused on audio files, is a heck of a lot more convenient than typing “.wav” into Google and wading through inconsistent results. Type in what you’re looking for and specify parameters, and the results are offered in playable previews and waveform diagrams. I almost always found relevant results in the 10 or so test searches I performed, and being able to see how long the sound helps winnow down results when you’re hunting just the right sound to fit into a project.
