Many NASA audio files can be found here among many, many other gems (eg.).

My word for the day is "Quindar"! Thanks.

Those "Solar System & Beyond Sounds" are amazing, especially the various bits of detector data converted to sound.

Where's the ping sound? You know, just the isolated "beep" so that I can create my own capcom conversations?

You can cut them out of the Quindar and Sputik tracks.

I tried the sputnik, but it wasn't what I was looking for. The first Quindar is the one though! Thanks benito.strauss!

I need to run through the archive.org links. At the KSC in Florida, there's a launch simulation which is amazing. I'm looking for that.

Here is one of my favorites: Paul Francis: Sounds of the Universe.

PS. If you want to hear this without download, you can listen to a few I uploaded on a Behance Portfolio test project I made some years ago (don't worry, its not self promoting--this is the only thing going there!). What's really fun is playing several clips at once!
