Royalty Free Sounds are, obviously, sounds that you don’t
need to pay royalty payments for if you use them. They can be used commercially
in things like movies, games, and anything else you might need a sound for. You
may not however redistribute them for a profit. While sending one to a friend
is ok, selling one to a customer is not.
Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 is one of many copyright
licence types. Creative Commons Attribution 3, put simply, means you can use
this audio but you must attribute your work to this person. So if you use music
under this licence and add it to YouTube, or your blog, or elsewhere in the
public domain you will need to state in the comments where the audio is from. If the audio is from someone called Michelle
Koen then you need to give her credit somewhere. That somewhere could be in the
credits, on a cd cover, or on a link to the sounds page from your blog.
Public Domain Sounds are sounds that have been added to the
public domain. They are owned by the public, and are 100% free. Items get added
to the PD in a variety of different ways. 1.) Items older than the public
domain age setting are automatically added. 2.) Thoughtful members of the audio
community donate their own works for the good of others. 3.) Speeches by
presidents and other political audio are usually considered public domain
works.
The following sites have Royalty Free, Creative Commons

software’, or “creative commons sounds”, but beware some sites charge to
