A review:
Quite why someone would need seven different sound effects of snoring, or the clicking noises of an
Eastern Grey Kangaroo, is a mystery, but 6,000 Sound Effects is nothing if not thorough, and, at
best, it s worth several chuckles. This CD-ROM is aimed at those who want to use sound effects for
presentations, on Web sites, desktops, or just for fun. Divided into nine categories--explosions,
machines, household, animals, nature, cartoons, people, windows, pot luck--the sound effects are
also searchable by keyword. The Explosions category is chock-a-block with various war-related
sounds, ranging from old-west style shootouts to the eerily realistic sounds of an air-raid nuclear
siren. Household noises range from the scrumptious sound of bacon frying to the spot-on rendition of
brushing teeth, perhaps useful for a dentist s Web site. Highlights of Animals is the positively
diabolical growl of the Tasmanian Devil and the Persian Cat s plaintive meow, though Bach causing a
dog to bark is very Stupid Pet Tricks. Nature has its share of feel-good sounds--brooks babbling
soothingly, crickets on a hot summer night--and weather porn: tornadoes, hurricanes, and a cold hard
wind straight out of Little House on the Prairie. The Cartoon and People sections are rather
gag-centred: boings bonks and beeps, or the sound of a kiss, scream or slap. 6,000 Sound Effects is
good value for money for those designing jokey Web sites, cheesy presentations, and comical sounds
for the desktop.
