https://freesound.org/ Not entirely free, but very useful site. You just have to check every sound you use under what license it is. Some don't allow for commercial use.

[PT-BR] Estou desenvolvendo um curso com dicas e orientações para quem quer aprender a configurar e usar o computador melhor, deixando ele mais rápido e o uso mais eficaz. Não é especificamente um curso sobre desenvolvimento de games, mas vai ajudar quem quer tornar o computador preparado para isso. Criei um cupom gratuito para o curso, que pode ser resgatado por até 10 pessoas. Peço que apenas pessoas que falam português usem o link com o cupom, e façam bom proveito do curso :)

[EN-US] I'm developing a course with tips and guidelines for anyone who wants to learn how to set up and use the computer better, making it faster and more efficient. It's not specifically a course on game development, but it will help anyone who wants to make the computer ready for it. I've created a free coupon for the course, which can be redeemed for up to 10 people. I ask that only people who speak Portuguese use the link with the coupon, and make good use of the course :)
