amplificathonI've become addicted to the use of soundeffects. Especially when I adapt a action-adventure/horror fic, I've found that it can really add to the atmosphere and add to the story-telling.
For instance, in my last podfic I used gunshots before the part where the narration tells who fired - creating suspence for the listener.
I'm using Zapsplat.com which has only no-attribution sounds, which means you don't have to give credit to the person who created the sound effect.
(I've used sounds from freesound.org too, but you have to credit the creator of the sound effect which can be annoying when you use many of them. I do upload my own sound effects to freesound.org though. *g*)
The sound effects I use the most are long, atmospheric sounds. Some are loopable, some are not. Some favorites:
