Nice one!
You never know when you might need the sound of a bustling crowd of people during rush hour in the streets of Peru, or the sound of a bustling crowd of people during rush hour in the streets of Myanmar.

Never mind that, is Bloodnok's stomach in there?

Never mind that, is Bloodnok's stomach in there?

Yes. (Direct link to Wav)

It's Fred the Oyster I really want.

[olliebean]

Yes. (Direct link to Wav)

Ah yes, I see it's under "Radiophonic stomach."

No TARDIS noises, though, that I could find.

I can't make the link work.

I can't make the link work.

Hmm, the site seems to be up and down - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I suppose they could also be throttling downloads or refusing hotlinks.

I had to link to it direct, because there seems to be no way to link to the site page when you do find something. (Bit of an oversight on their part really, as this is will only add to the bandwidth burden if people can only share direct download links.)

I found it by searching for 'stomach', it's the last result in the list that comes up.

As long as they have on file 'Glass crash' from BBC Off Beat Sound Effects  The Wilhelm Scream of comedy SFX.

BBC Sound Effects LPs always have amazing cover art. This is no exception.

Being hammered now, I expect. It's loading very slowly (or possibly not at all - I'm still waiting).

<edit> it did load, eventually - but judging by the way the search works (i.e., search-as-you-type), it must be loading the entire index every time you visit the page, so not surprising it's a bit slow, really.
