Free sound effect libraries (general sounds) recommendations

Anyone know of sites that have general sounds, rather than musical ones.
 
I'm looking to use in class for the kids to think what it sounds like.

Brilliant. Stumbled on the collection of cats purring. My sleeping cats ears were going crazy.

I selected 'cute' and found 'funny balloon sounds' which is 3 minutes worth, as it was playing I scrolled down and saw 'NSFW sexy voice blowjob'. Both playing together was hilarious.

Another good site is this:

The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better.

Thanks Fleer, it's natural sounds I'm after, so they can in teams say what they think sounds like. They'll practice the sentence structures.'It sounds like a ..............' and 'I think it sounds like a ............'
 
We are doing the five main senses, so I,m going to put some things in boxes for touch and smells in jars. Should be fun

I've had these files for years and were downloaded from a free sounds website. The way they "aren't" catalogued it would be rude to charge anything for them. For basic sounds of biplanes and doors shutting etc they're pretty good.
