This site has demonstrated that it is one of most prolific sites that I have ever stumbled upon when dealing with sounds that we import to integrate in our teaching presentations. I highly recommend this site because it has a plethora of sound elements. It is categorized under 16 domains; each domain encompasses a wide range of sounds that refer to items, objects, and things that we come across and handle on a daily basis. These sounds when imported and embedded in synergy with the images and the texts that the instructor is presenting would significantly facilitate and complement the learning process. The idiosyncractic attribute of the site is that it is a colorful and comprehensive site that can befit any educational stage beginning with the elementary level, the middle school and ending with the higher education. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91071 Click on the colour bar at the top to choose a color (hue) and then click/drag within the colour square to change the saturation and brightness.
