Find sounds with FindSounds for your Soundslides or Flash projects

Find-sounds

Via Lifehacker:

For YouTube videos, presentations, or even just system sounds, having the right sound effect file can make all the difference. FindSounds, a search engine focused on audio files, is a heck of a lot more convenient than typing “.wav” into Google and wading through inconsistent results. Type in what you’re looking for and specify parameters, and the results are offered in playable previews and waveform diagrams. I almost always found relevant results in the 10 or so test searches I performed, and being able to see how long the sound helps winnow down results when you’re hunting just the right sound to fit into a project. Got your own sound clip search methods? Share ‘em in the comments.

This is perfect for those hunting for that perfect bird chirp, child laughing or alligator growl they need to complete their Soundslides, Flash piece or any other project requiring sound. Great tool.
