These would make great notification sounds!

How about "Glass: Crashes - Hit with medium crash (84G)":

@w7voa 33K sounds yo what??? there's some good parts about the uk after all :P massive kudos to whoever decided to do this
@filmroellchen @w7voa you (and OP) should be aware that commercial use requires special permission, which their terms misleadingly hide under the heading "don't pretend to be the BBC"
@w7voa How long until there will be a BBC-Launcher for Android? Maybe a Dr. Who-Launcher?

@w7voa Looks like it is not compatible with free software licenses. (Like GPL)

Hopefully I'm wrong. Would have been great to use this in games for example. Any kind of CC license would have been so much better 🙄 …

@mray @w7voa if there was an open license(1), I'm sure there would be several volunteers willing to add them to Wikimedia Commons(2), where the open media files used on Wikipedia, and in several other places, are stored.

And this could help in the arduous work of categorizing these audios. At the moment a list of 33 k follows without categories is not that usable.

@w7voa
As a kid I bought the vinyl LP of BBC Sound Effects "Death and Horror". It was a scream. Literally. This must be an opportunity to hear them cutting up cabbages in various ways again.

@w7voa Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
@w7voa @lisamelton No sad trombone? How can I express my disappointment about this?
