Sound Clips



These sound clips are in RealAudio format (22kHz sampling rate, 16-bit resolution, 40Kbits/sec data rate). You will need a copy of the RealAudio Player. I have chosen RealAudio rather than MP3 because RealAudio supports streaming: the clip can begin playing before it has completely downloaded.
