The Freesound Project provides new and interesting ways of accessing and browsing these samples." In less that 7 months we've grown to 30,000 users and today we finally reached the first goal of the project: we've collected over 10,000 samples, added by various people around the globe: only a slashdotting would be a suiting birthday cake. If you do visit Freesound, don't forget to have a look at the Geotagged Samples as they are well worth it."

this reminds me of "Sound of the Day".

archives go back to Dec 2004. (wrt to geotagged freesounds it wouldn't be much but that's still +~365...and it's interesting)
great resource for audio creators by davidtweet · 2005-11-23 15:04 · Score: 5, Informative

As a developer of audio for free/open source games, I totally go to freesound first. No squeaky doors in the immediate vicinity to make field recordings of--no problem! Somebody's already made their field recording available. It can be a great complement to your own recordings or commercial samples. I also love the clear licensing terms, unlike many other free audio content websites.
