While looking for sound effects for my animated film I am working on, I came across this huge free library of sound effects. Its a little over 23GB worth of sounds. In all it is 1022 sound effects.

You can read about it here, and also download the whole set here. it is broken down into 3 zip files:

If you don't want to download all 23GB worth, you can also check them out here where they are categorized into different smaller chunks:

I guess there is no way to edit my orginal post, I just realized this collection is bigger than I originally thought:

The SSE Library.zip file =  Sunset Editorial (SSE) Library: This is the set with roughly 1,022 effects featuring classic 1960s–1980s sounds from shows like Bewitched and The Waltons.

The Gold Library.zip =  hundreds of high-quality, "clean" master effects from the 1930s and '40s.

The Red Library.zip  = Known as the "workbench collection," this includes over 1,500 effects that were actually used and spliced in Hollywood editing rooms

they are all in the first link above, just make sure to download all 3 zips.
