Publically available sounds.

[Yardley Footman]

Googling didn't help.  What I'm looking for is a list of sounds that can be used freely without having to load them up in my objects.  For example, every door open and close script example has the tokens/keys for two sounds that you hear all over SL. One for the door opening, and one for it closing. They're used everywhere, but where do they "live"?  And the question is, do they have any neighbors?

Is there a list somewhere?

A list of sounds built into second life can be found here

A lot of scripts simply use the uuid for a sound rather than include a sound item in the objects inventory.

The same applies to textures.

The only item that has to be placed in object inventory is an animation.

What, in effect, you're asking for is a list of the uuids of all sounds that have ever been released into the wild as full perms, and then some.   Such as list does not exist.

Sounds and textures referenced by UUID don't have to be in an object's contents, as you said.  They live in someone's inventorym possibly the (LL provided) 'library' part and are therefore in the database.  They have many, many neighbours but as far as I know there is no way to identify 'just' from a UUID which are sounds.

Using texture or sound UUIDs in scriptsis a great way to protect them if you intend to share or sell the item.

You also may get a royal free sound like from www.freesound.org, upload it and us its UUID in your script.

To get an texture or sound UUID just right click on it in your inventory, pick 'Copy Asset UUID' and paste it into your script.

Sounds made by  everyday type objects in sl were either obtained by the creator at shops that sell sounds or imported by them.  The built in sounds are limited to the sounds your viewer makes to mark events.  Some commercial door scripts come with basic open and close sounds.
