The New York Times wrote:[1]

Although professional sound and video producers often use this site, it's a hoot for any visitor with an audio player. You can search for a sound by typing in a phrase like "footsteps on gravel" or browse the Sound Types section for several hundred categorized examples ("burp" yielded 143 sonic belches).
