Listen to some of the geotagged sounds (sounds that have geographical data associated with them) on FreeSound and Open Sound New Orleans
Geotagged sounds on FreeSound: http://www.freesound.org/browse/geotags/

Note that you can download the sound files on each of these sites and that the sounds are available to use freely (an issue we will discuss when we get into Fair Use and copyright/copyleft issues later in the semester)
Have a look at the ccMixter site, which is a “community music site featuring remixes licensed under Creative Commons where you can listen to, sample, mash-up, or interact with music in whatever way you want.”
