Free Sound Effects!

Kinda cool: The BBC is offering more than 16,000 free sound effect samples for download from its archive. I don't think I have the time or the storage space to download any of these, but they're fun to listen to. Here's the online blurb that announced them:

Attention all sound effects enthusiasts! Over 16,000 classic BBC Archive sound effects and field recordings, from air raids to zebras, are available on the BBC Sound Effects Beta: http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/ -- they are FREE to listen to, or download and reuse for non-commercial purposes.
