Enjoy.\n\n1 \u2013 https://www.freesound.org/\n\nFreesound has an excellent collection of audio artifacts. Easy to search with many recorded by volunteers who contribute to the site.\n\n2 \u2013 http://soundbible.com/\n\nSound Bible is another excellent source of free audio effects with a quality search function.\n\n3 \u2013 http://www.audiomicro.com/free-sound-effects\n\nAudio Micro has a free sound effects section. However, make sure they don\u2019t wander into the paid section and find the perfect sound that may come with an invoice.\n\n4 \u2013 http://www.freesoundeffects.com/\n\nFree Sound Effects is one of my favorite sound effects sites. Easy to navigate with a large collection of sound effects.\n\n5 \u2013 https://www.partnersinrhyme.com/\n\nPartners in Rhyme has an excellent free audio section including background music. It also offers an opportunity to discuss with students the differences between Royalty-Free and Free Royalty-Free. Since royalty free music means you pay once and don\u2019t have to pay royalties for continued use whereas \u201cFree Royalty Free\u201d takes it to the next level and is free to use.\n\n6 \u2013 http://freemusicarchive.org/\n\nThe Free Music Archive is less for sound effects and more for actual music. This is a useful resource when you need background music.\n\n7 \u2013 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page\n\nAgain Wikimedia is one of my favorite sources for media in general. The site offers a large collection and is useful to find free to use copies of older pieces.\n\n8 \u2013 https://archive.org/\n\nThe Internet Archive has a massive collection of audio artifacts and is well organized. When I know what I am looking for I will check WikiMedia and the Archive first.\n\n9 \u2013 http://www.freeplaymusic.com/index.aspx\n\nFree Play Music is a massive collection of music that can be used in a variety of ways. They offer some paid services but allow for all of their music free of charge for classroom use.\n\n10 - https://www.shockwave-sound.com/\n\nI tend to use Shockwave Sound whenever I have a budget.  I just love their interface and the site is so very easy to use.  They have a massive collection and I can almost always find what I am looking for.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/0cf7bedd-6c4c-4034-86eb-407cbdb721a6/avatars-000671675906-w8o0tp-original.jpg"}
