Real Audio Sounds

Welcome to the Real Audio Sounds page! In order to hear the audio clips in the section you need the latest Real Audio Player. If there is any problems hearing the audio, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Hearing these sounds assume that you have read the disclaimer area, as I only provided these for your entertainment value. There are over 150 sounds available! Select a category on the left to view the available sounds in that category.

I know that Real Audio isn't a popular format. When I started this page back in 1998, it was pretty cool to have streaming audio. I'll be adding more audio to this site over the next couple of weeks with some more exciting audio from my collection.

As always, I welcome your feedback.

March 3, 2010 update: It looks like that something is going on with RealNetworks and its time to decide on what to do with the Real Audio that I have here. I am thinking of converting the sounds to a different streaming media format, but I am unsure of what to use. I am thinking of Quicktime, by Apple Inc.

If you have some format that you would like to see used, let me know!
