TheFreeSite.com: Free WAV Sound File Resources
One of our favorite types of sound files on the Web is the humble WAV file. It's really quite amazing what a variety of WAV files there are available out there. Odds are, you can name your favorite moment from a TV show or film and somewhere on the Web, it's available as a WAV file that you can download and enjoy again and again.
WAV files are easy to download and manage, too, because they're so compact (usually only a few kilobytes in size).
If you're going to be downloading sounds files off the Web, then you'll want to check out our free music software section, which features the Web's best freeware programs for playing your sound files.
Please send us E-mail if you're aware of any such free sound-related resources that we haven't listed below, or if you find dead or expired links.
