Today Roger Pink pointed me to The Freesound Project, which is an online database of sounds. These sounds are free to be used by anyone in accordance with the Creative Commons Sampling Plus License. The Freesound Project makes these sounds accessible by keyword search.
Recently, the Music Technology Group of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona received a Google Research Award to further develop The Freesound Project.
As someone who has performed scientific research in sound source separation using Bayesian methods (Bayesian source separation), this may be an excellent resource for high quality free sounds.
