Hi again Back,

I'm not sure if you're interested in the making of the sound effects themselves, or the use of them in SL, so I'll give you a shotgun answer. Google finds quite a few free sound effects libraries...

If you wish to create them on your own, you'll need a portable recording device and an audio editing tool. I have no recommendations for a recorder, other than to use your phone's audio note taking app if it has such a thing. For editing, I use the free Audacity program...

Here's more about sound clips...

And finally, you'll need a script to play the clip under the circumstances you desire. Here's the LSL script library, which contains at least a couple example scripts that use sound. Just search for "sound" on that page...

And here is the base script function for playing sound clips...

At the bottom of that page you'll find links to the other sound related functions.

Have fun!
