My short answer would probably be: Hey, if you look in the dumpsters, you can most likely find free bread! Yet, every day millions of people actually buy bread in the supermarket. Despite the availability of free bread, they prefer bread that (a) is better, and (b) they know where it came from.
Yes, there are sites where you can find completely free sounds and download them for free. The problem is: You don't know where they came from. The sites offering completely free sounds most likely just downloaded them free from some other "free wav sounds" site, at some point. And they figured, hey, we downloaded these for free, they are freely available on the internet already, so we'll share them for free as well.

Free river sounds can be found |
I didn't think so.
And this is of course why people are willing to pay a few dollars for sound effects on a site such as ours. Not only is the sound quality much more consistent. The free sounds you can find range from "awful" to "great" in sound quality. On our site, the sounds are all professionally created, all 100% legally sourced and licensed, created by us and our contracted professional sound engineers, and legally licensed to you, or your company, for use in your projects.
For some, this is worth a few dollars.
On a side note, we too offer some of our sounds completely free. If you join up with us with a free user account, you'll find 5 completely free sounds - all completely legal and professionally created - available to download from within your user account. 5 new sounds are chosen at random, each week.
