dang, is it possible to change the URL for this submission? The site linked loads 30+ ad slots and attempts to seemingly canvas fingerprint users.

#3Bit of a shame the license is so restrictive you can't even use it in non-profit organisations without permission. Wondering what you can realistically do with them other than using one for a ringtone on your phone

#5> The Sound Effects are BBC copyright, but they may be used for personal, educational or research purposes, as detailed in the license[1].
So for commercial purposes you need to licence them, as described here[2]:
> We provide various options from single downloads you choose ($5) to the entire library on hard drive ($1,995), to annual licensing for multi-user media production companies

If you're a "media" producer, you can use them to build your game, soundtrack, presentation, etc. Once you're satisfied, and the product will be published, you can decide to get a license. You've seen the price: buying such licenses beforehand is only for dedicated professionals.

But can you use them as a sound effect in a youtube video, where you may earn some revenue through adverts some time in the future (or maybe not)?

This is commercial use and paid.

#10These used to be released on vinyl, there was once an incident in Ireland whereby a record player was hidden in a tree and BBC sound effects records were played at night to scare some of the sheep that were part of a "King of the Sheep" competition. It was a big scandal at the time.
