Museum of Endangered Sounds

As the name of the resource suggests, this is a library of nostalgic sounds that someone might associate with childhood, adolescence or other periods of life. There's the crackle of a vinyl record, the click of a typewriter, an old Nokia phone ring, a Pac-Man ringtone, and more. One press turns the sound on, and a second press turns it off. Sounds can be combined to create pleasant background noise.
