Freesound is a website for free audio material exchange, founded through the International Computer Music Computer Conference in 2005.

A free account is required to download sounds on the website. Uploaders can choose licensing agreements for their sound, CC0, CC BY, and CC BY-NC - but emphasis is placed on collaborative potential of open sounds.

Vital Signs

The site shows no immediate signs of going under.

It seems at one point the site relied on university-provided research hosting, and has had a troubled past with downtime. In June 2008 the site's domain switched from freesound.iua.upf.edu to freesound.org - since that point reliability has improved.

Previous Discussion

It seems there was some fairly in-depth discussion about the process and politics of archiving Freesound in #archiveteam IRC May 2016. However, users dispanded to IRC channel '#freeallthesounds' which isn't archived - it is unclear whether progress was made.
