An exercise in noise reduction

In an attempt to get up-to-speed with my sound editing software, I 
decided to use the sound files located here

http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/acoustics/sounds_mystery.html

as a way of practicing to reduce background noise. I thought others 
might find them useful, too.

These are a few of NOAA's "mystery sounds" and contain much "Sea 
Hunt"-type noise. I found it a useful exercise to try to isolate the 
mystery sounds from this noise. I had moderate success with all but 
one of these file -- Upsweep.

Can anyone recommend any other sets of files for editing practice?

Incidentally, these sounds, isolated or not, would be fantastic for 
that Halloween ambiance. Playing them out the front window of your 
home will be a sure way to keep the youngsters at bay! I found 
Slowdown to be particularly disturbing.

Cheers,
Tony Kirchgessner
