Where do you guys get sound effects for your games? I'm too poor to buy them or make them myself, so do you know of any places to get free sounds? I can do graphics and programming myself, and my friend does the music, but this is one area where I really don't know what to do...

You need to register, but then you'll have access to a large array of samples. You can also use Sfxr http://www.imitationpickles.org/ludum/2007/12/13/sfxr-sound-effects-for-all/
if you're looking for a 'retro' sound.
If you use wav samples, you should try tinkering with audacity.

If you don't care about intellectual property law, you can rip sounds from the NSFs of old NES games and tweak and combine them into your own twisted audio pastiches with the help of an audio editor like Audacity.

There's also a tool that was covered in TIGSource for generating bleepy primitive wave sounds and running filters over them.

Beyond that you can sample sounds with a microphone and chop and filter them to meet your needs.

Looks good. I'll tinker around with those a bit and see what I can come up with.

Thanks a lot.

Freesound is one of the best resources you will find for royalty free stuff.  I used it all the time in school, and still browse it occasionally so I can appease my OCD hoarding organs.
