I think the sound you’re looking for is a standard two toned police whistle.

I don’t have one handy, but I generated an FM synth approximation two types - one based around 3500Hz, and another (closer to a police whistle) of about 2100Hz.

I uploaded them today... once they’re approved - look for them as

and

(by the way - these were my 200th and 201th additions to the freesound project)

Yes... A basic sound came to mind.

The start and stop on a cassette recorder.

Stop says DISCONNECT -

At least to me... but then I've been addicted to audio recording since (at the very least) 1972. I will post some sounds from my trusty Marantz PMD201

NOTE: After listening again - I'm not so sure anymore - but there they are.

Awesome...absolutely perfect. Thanks!

I don't have any idea of the sort of sound... should be kind of beeps like in instant messenger programs (!) ,for example. The sounds should be relatively simple so that the user gets informed by them but not annoyed.
Some information about my app:

- VPN client to establish a secure connection between client and server
- it's called Shimo which means "Tunnel" in english

Connum and Halleck, in case you were wondering what's happening with your contributions, I'm still chipping away at an idea. At the same time, I'm working on other stuff. AND I'm doing my day gig and all that normal non-FSP stuff. I should have something interesting created by, oh, the end of the year.

I just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten your contributions; thanks again...

And if anyone else wants to contribute, obviously there's still time. It might push things back a little, but it'll also make the result richer, I think.

Maybe someone can help me with this little problem.

Hi .guru,

I'm sure someone can. Do you have an idea of the sort of sounds you would like? Any examples you could point us at or quote? Do you want spoken words, or beeps?

So many questions ....

Playing Twister whilst wearing fetish gear...

Hi there,
I am a software developer who knows nothing about sound
Now I need some simple sound files for notifying the user about application-events like "connected", "disconnected" and so on...

Maybe someone can help me with this little problem.

Thanks!

Any one of them would work...

So does this...

arguably - I suppose some men might sound like that too...

Hey guys,

I don't really need this sample, but I dare ( ) anyone to record yourself being drilled/operated upon in the dentist's office.

sure, there's an API, but it's a bit... difficult.

it's all based around XML versions of the pages you normally see...

the easiest would be if you just have a look at the mootcher (or jmootcher) source code and figure it out from there... it's not very difficult.

cheerio,

Ah, Freqman, I've just found it... I was too early... thank you... I'll ask some of my friends of the female persuasion if they can identify themselves with that sound Although I'll ask them about Boccherini as well, you just never know...

Hey Freqman, do you mean the Boccherini menuet? It can't be the concrete blocks knocking together... or the gym duffle bag opening and closing... (uhmmm... no innuendo intented, really!)

And just to keep on staying off topic : Freesound is remarkably a men's business. I wonder why. Anyone doing scientific research about that?

Hi,

I would be grateful if anyone knows of a wav sample of a First world war type whitlse. This is the type that was used to signal the troops to go "Over the top", during a battle.

Thanks in advance.

Looking at a file by tedthetrumpet...

I think it needs to be pitched down and a nice big echo put on it.

Uploading tonight - let me know if it works for you.

Does anyone have a sample of fluorescent lights shutting down? You know that crazy slamming noise of large numbers of them? I don't know if it's the lights themselves or generators or what...but it almost sounds like steel doors closing.

Any help would be appreciated.

"attribution-noncommercial" for me, for reasons already stated by others.

I have no probs with granting commercial-usage for my sounds & music (indeed I have done so in the past).

However, I believe multiple licences are confusing, and would like my sounds to default to noncommercial unless specifically waivered (which, I believe, would increase the chance of the enduser actually following through with the attribution).

cheers, sk

Thanks fellers. I really didn't do an awful lot of work on this. I wanted to explore how the sounds would interact with each other much as they were. I did a little work on timing, to get some beats to coincide, and omitted some beats where they distracted from another more "important" sound ... and then just spaced it out in the stereo field. All good fun. Not my wife's cup of tea at all, however!

I don't really trust royalty free stuff, that's why I always edit my sounds as much as possilbe to make it sound unique.

good point!
