Where do you find royalty free sound effects and music?

Anyone use http://www.soundsnap.com/ ? Where do you get your sound effects/music from?

http://www.flashkit.com is one I go to for sound effects mostly. And recently I go on http://www.audiomicro.com for royalty free music. It's not too expensive.

http://www.soundrangers.com
is also a good source for soundeffects etc.

edit: Woops.. well they're not for free but they arent expensive either

search for cfxr its a free sound effect generator tool which can generate all sorts of noises, exports as wav or mp3 (cant remember which) and then just use afconvert to convert to .caf

@garyk1968,
it is wav and this utility is mostly for 8-bit sounds. I do not understand why you want to convert it to .caf? If you leave them as .wav, you can just use them without issues with iOS and Android.

?:)

This site is absolutely terrific, it features a near infinite selection of free sounds (you need to give proper credit though, it's Creative Commons licensed): http://www.freesound.org/

When you don't have the exact sound you need, you can also ask a request in their forum. Additionally, you may want to mix a sound yourself from what you find. Need a party sound but nothing exists for the keyword "party"? Then why not download the sound of laughter, chatter, glasses binging, walking steps, eating etc. and mix it yourself.

Also, you can go a long way by making sounds yourself. For instance, pots and kettles from the kitchen can make good sounds for armor and swords, if you adjust them right in a program like Audacity. Good luck with your sounds!

For music the Creative Commons sites are worth a look:

I found out about those because I read that Braid used music from this site:
http://www.jamendo.com/en/

I've used some sounds from
http://www.freesounds.org

I know I may be a little late to add this but thought that it would be good if anyone ever searches it out.
http://www.jewelbeat.com/ has music for your projects at $0.99 with over 35,000 tracks.
Over 3000 free effects too. Thanks.

This is also a good source for royalty free music: http://audiojungle.net/

I´m selling my own music there, too. You can find it here: http://audiojungle.net/user/soundrepository/portfolio

By the way - I´m also offering custom music - in case you need some for your games! ;) If interested feel free to send me an email: soundrepository "at" me "dot" com

Thanks

If you want high quality professional music thats royalty free, try www.premiumbeat.com.

I bought the music for my game Thumb Tap from there, I got 5 different variants/mixes of the same song that loop seamlessly for $30 US.

Small investment for great music IMO, since music is the one element in my project that I can't create myself and bad music sounds really bad for the end user.

As mentioned, Sound Rangers has a pretty good selection of sounds, but you can find some free stuff around too if you don't need much. Free music is much harder to find so you might have to pay for that unless you know a muso or something....

another resource I just found http://www.nosoapradio.us/
