I believe it's managed by the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra https://www.upf.edu/web/mtg

#4I’m vaguely reminded of when I was charged with adding sounds to a Java applet game. As a joke I added a five minute sequence of “dying” sounds I found online somewhere. Each death scream was separated with about a second of silence. It was a beautifully comic effect as it just kept going on and on and on. We were tempted to shift it as an Easter egg but it dramatically increased the size of the applet and this was the days of most people accessing the internet via dialup.

#5Very good project, all sounds in our app use resources taken from this site. It has very good search function that crucially allows you too specify license.

https://github.com/ffont/FreesoundSimpleSampler - demonstrates the use of the freesound-juce API client; the user can create a textual query to Freesound.org and 16 random sounds are loaded in a sampler.
https://github.com/aframires/FreesoundUploader - for uploading sounds to Freesound.org without opening a web browser

http://www.nihilore.com/
That appears to be one person publishing their music under CC-BY. That's nice of them, but not similar to Freesound's massive collection.
I think http://www.ccmixter.org/ would be a more likely candidate, or SoundCloud's search restricted to CC licenses. There are also lots of musicians publishing CC music on Bandcamp, but the site doesn't allow filtering by license. The best approximation I've found is searching "some rights reserved" site:bandcamp.com with DDG and then checking which license the link points to.
