Sound Jay has an assortment of great sound clips to use in flip charts, presentations, or videos.  The sound clips are extremely realistic and so practical.  Students and teachers can really enhance their products with these well-placed sound bites. Did you know that fire had a sound?  Need a certain sound for a website button?  Students and teachers could use these very realistic sounds to accompany their video clips that do not have sound.  A literature class could have an audio assignment where the students create a scene from the book and these sounds would be the perfect addition to the podcast. The downloads are available in wav and mp3 format and they download very quickly.  The clips are typically very short and students might struggle with extending the sound in a loop.  The downloads are free, but there are a lot of advertisements and other "pay" options that might confuse younger users.  I would recommend this site for middle or high school students.

FreeSFX offers over 450,000 sound effects, available for free MP3 download. The site requires a free membership to download, but no other costs are associated with the use of these sound effects. The effects are easy to navigate, as they are organized into alphabetized categories. In addition, a search bar makes locating a specific desired effect quick and easy. The enormous collection is sure to offer sound effects for teachers of all grades and subject areas.
