Search: FindSounds

You've got a surfeit of search engines to choose from if you're looking for articles on line. Photos and graphics, too, are easy enough to find with Google, Yahoo and NetVue image searches. But what if, amid the cacaphony of competing search engines, you're looking for a sound, a train whistle, say, a jackhammer like the one on the Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City," or something more esoteric? FindSounds scours the web for AIFF, AU, and WAV files. From among its findings, you click on the nearby speaker icon to sample a returned suggestion, then choose the "Sounds Like" button to refine your search with a new list of noises that are related to the one you listened to. <http://www.findsounds.com/>
