Can anyone help me find a web site where I can easily download some AIFF or WAV files? It doesn’t matter what they are, I just need to test some equipment here at work. I suppose if they were between 15 sec and a minute that would be helpful.

I have looked all around-- I keep finding sound effects companies who will let you listen to samples in streaming mode, but won’t let you download anything.

PLease help… I hope to complete this testing this evening.

Gyan-- thanks for your help. I went to the site and tried to download, but you have to buy a subscription to download. You can listen via streaming for free-- but not download.

But I appreciate the help.
