Sounds Of The 70s The following files are in .WAV format (some .mp3s) and come from 70s TV shows, movies, music or related memories. I've mainly chosen short ones that I think will work perfectly as Exit, Start or Mail sounds. More to come as they become available. Just right-click on the file name and choose "Save Target As" to download or click to hear it now. *Please* do not link to these files if you wish to use them on your own site. My bandwidth use is getting out of hand as it is (thanks to the Sesame Street Lyrics Archive). Just save a copy of the file(s) and host them on your own server. More importantly, enjoy! And feel free to send in any goodies you wish to share. Do not miss The Daily .Wav, I've been stealing from them for years now.
