Hi there
I am trying to find a good site with wav sounds preferebly free that i can use in messages of type.. Info, Warning, Critical and such.
Sadly so far most of the wav sound sites that i have encountered have irrelevant sounds for software development use.
Edit. Just to clarify, i am targeting .NET CF C#. I am aware of system sounds and looking for something more than that. Thank you.
You could always be a bit fancier and use some speech... http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
Why don't you use the sounds that are included in Windows by default? They have a whole set so that you can change the notification sounds yourself, so there should be plenty to choose from.
You could try freesound http://www.freesound.org/
The license on most of those sounds is CC SA-BY 1.0 (noncommercial) I think... that's a problem in some cases (e.g. Fedora won't take non-commercial.)
You might also find something in here: http://www.archive.org/details/audio
You should honour the sounds that the user has chosen in their selected theme e.g.
System.Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play();
EDIT - Example is c# but all systems should have an equivilent API. This allows the user to choose the sounds they want to hear. Devising your own selection of noises is making needless work for yourself and may confuse or annoy.
