In my experience, the vast majority are user-created sounds

#24TL;DR: It's more about short sounds like birdsong, weather, etc than music. Although, I saw some music samples as well.

Re: Freesound just reached 500K Creative Commons sounds
#25I’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 t…

The biggest challenge was, this was 2000 and MP3s were still a new technology and Java of that era could only play uncompressed audio samples.

https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ has hundreds of no-charge sample libraries (many pianos, lots of other things). The most common format is for Kontakt (non-libre, but available for Windows & macOS at no cost). There's quite a few in DecentSampler format and a few SFZ. It's not hard to extract the audio files from any of them if you need to.

#28In case you didn't know, Freesound has an API: https://freesound.org/docs/api/ And publications: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=freesound I believe it's managed by the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra https://www.upf.edu/web/mtg You can support it with donations: https://freesound.org/donations/donate/
At one point in time, Ardour (x-platform, FLOSS DAW) let you directly search and download from Freesound within the program.
We stopped doing that when their authentication API changed. They've subsequently changed it to something that would allow the functionality to be restored, but nobody has found the time to do that yet.
