Enjoying the sound of the #worldcup vuvuzelas? Now you can listen while online and pretend you're there! http://www.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/ :)

@pogoff Yes - the map should still be open for new sounds. Let me know if they're still not up there...

The vuvuzela horns accompanying the World Cup matches are quite something aren't they? Anyone going to save them to our map? #wc2010

At lunch I listened to the sound made by car tyres rolling over rain-soaked roads. Sounded a bit like painting walls using a paint roller...

@mcourcel I think sound is very powerful - it can transport you to all sorts of places without leaving your seat. :)

Just spoken to BBC Shropshire about Save Our Sounds - great quote from producer @leswalton: "We live in a beautiful world of sound". Agreed.

[BBC Save Our Sounds @BBC_SOS]

We're thinking about offering some of our sounds as ringtones - do you have any favourites? Have a listen via the map: http://bit.ly/cmC1ig

@tom__ Haha! I should be so lucky!

Btw, have you thought of any new endangered sounds we should save? I'd quite like to record the last #NASA shuttle launch... :)
