I've just realised that you can play multiple sounds at once !,
like a Petter single cylinder diesel to the accompanyment??
of an African night-time jungle canopy :-)

For Adam, there is the authentic sound of an Ozzie
building site :-


"Building site - Manly, Australia. Large site as heard from above with
natural reverberation, hammering, electric saws, drilling, metal
sheeting and wood dropped, very distant background surf and some myna
birds."

So now he can play this in the background while getting soaked on
a UK building site during the winter :-)

I think what is meant is that the samples shouldn't be used to make a record where yuo make a fortune or use for an advert or any commercial thing.

So I'd be OK for me to use a creaking door in a personal video where I wanted a spooky sound as my cat pushed through the cat flap.
But if I were spielberg and used if for the sounds of a fighter engine in star wars, that would be pushing the 'personal use' flag a bit too far I think :-)

I cannot get any to download. They seem to get to around 34 percent, then
stop with a failed to download. Firefox has no errors other than connection
was lost.
Good one bbc if it worked!

Using a Mac running firefox quantum 59.0.2 (64-bit) it defaulted to load it into itunes, but I chose to save the file.

Using the first sample on the page I got a wav file of 35.5 MB, so a lot bigger than I expected, it open and played in audacity OK.

I have a library of BBC sound effects on LPs, although not quite as many
as in the online archive.

Well, there is the Austin Rover ?(Fisher) pressed steel body
plant in full swing, plus quite a few Rover 2600 clips.:-)

I was hoping for a BR Delta diesel in full throttle but cannot
find one.

The nocturnal and daybreak African jungle canopy clips are quite
restful. Would make a good phone ring tone.

You'd think they would have used MP3 with some compression !!.

Maybe not, but lots of things that can be reused in different ways - I'm
sure that "Sound of radar echoes from the Moon" is a sound effect used
in the old Doctor Who's!
