1) I love animal sounds. I love the adorable and unique ways little kids mimic animals. (One of my younger brothers used to make the funniest horse noise that none of us can copy accurately.) I love how animal sounds make me think of long car trips to visit my grandparents in West Texas. We would all moo when we passed cows, and baa when we passed sheep, and sometimes we would convince Dad to make his brilliant elephant trumpet, complete with an arm as a trunk. Life seemed much simpler then, when all I had to worry about was how to best mimic a rooster.
I used FindSounds to search for the following animal sounds:
A lion's roar
An elephant's trumpet (This site actually has tons and tons of different elephant sounds.)
An orca's call (This entire page is in Italian. Fun?)
2) Simply the Best seems much easier to navigate, especially if finding something in the public domain is necessary. I used it to find the following sounds:
A train horn (It sounds like something from Thomas the Tank Engine.)
Submarine sonar (I have a strange obsession with submarine movies. I don't even know.)
Morse Code (It would be interesting to know what was said in this clip.)
I thought both of these sites including some great sound effects. It's helpful to have sound effects from various sites collected onto one searchable site.
