Findsounds.com – Sounds Search

FindSounds.com is the leading Web search engine for finding sound effects and musical instrument samples on the Web.

This is one of the most useful website I ever found! FindSounds is most funful [tag-tec]sound effects[/tag-tec] search engines. There are only a few useful and niche sound search engines on the Internet.
FindSounds is the only Web search engine devoted to finding sound effects and musical instrument samples. You can find many different types of sound files on the Web using FindSounds.

Moreover, you can narrow down exactly what kind of file you’re looking for-file formats, number of channels, [tag-ice]minimun sound resolution[/tag-ice], minimum sample rate, and maximum file size are all available to customize right on the Findsounds home page.

While most of these parameters probably wouldn’t make any sense to the casual sound searcher (that’s me included), serious sound searchers will appreciate the depth of sound searching they’re able to accomplish with these.

Even more interesting than finding out exactly what noise an osprey makes is the science behind the organizing and cataloguing of this type of information.

I know that a synthesizer can generate thousands of sounds that cannot meaningfully be expressed in words. There are many limitations of searching for sounds by searching with their labels or name.

This inspired computer scientists to develop methods for content-based audio retrieval. www.findsounds.com
