BBC gives away 16k WAV sound effects

The BBC Sound Effects site offering has gotten plenty of online sharing in the past year. Can you imagine having access to 16k sound effects? This is a sound effects library culled from the archives of the BBC and its Radiophonic Workshop, a selection of sounds dug up from broadcast sound work. There’s both synthetic sound design and field recording work – sometimes not really identified as such. I know this, because I used what I believe is the edition of this that was once released on a big series of CDs. –Credit

You can also buy all 30,000 sound effects royalty free for around US$5000, but you can also get individual files for around five bucks.
