Similar to Soundsnap which is covered here at Pianologist, The Freesound Project is another similar website that compile a huge collaborative database of audio samples and recordings. Released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus License, this project provides new and interesting ways of accessing free samples, allowing users to

• browse the sounds in new ways using keywords, a “sounds-like” type of browsing
• up and download sounds to and from the database, under the same creative commons license
• interact with fellow sound-artists!
• browse sample by tags
• randomize samples browsing for surprise
• rate the samples you listen
• you can even browse sample uploaded by certain user

A forum is set up for feedback and discussion.
