How can I change the system sounds on my Mac?

Sounds and Soundsets

Here are some Sounds, Sound Utilities and Sound sets that I can recommend from personal experience!

-------------
Forest 2.0 from MacUnicorn Software
Shareware
-------------
Forest plays nature sounds, bird chirps, crickets and others, as if you were walking through a forest. In addition to Forest world, you can also choose Garden World, Night World, or, my favorite, Storm World - with thunder and lightening.

In the preferences, you can choose random sounds instead of continuous sounds. You even have the option of building your own world by using the, what else, World Builder; however, this option is unavailable until the program is registered. (Tucows Review)

-------------
MacThing 1.0 from ClixSounds
Freeware
-------------
Introducing the Mac Thing collectible sound from Clixsounds, a hard-hitting, technotronic, pro-Macintosh production of true quality audio output from your Mac and external speakers.

It begins with a club-style bass beat backed by electronic melodies that pause after a measure, when a voice says, "It's a Macintosh thing, you wouldn't understand."

Then, it instantly bursts into a speaker-crushing bass frenzy backed by electronic melodies and orchestral punches, making for a spectacular climax of Macintosh proportions. (Tucows Review)

-------------
Silver Soundset II 2.0 from Mac.com
Freeware
-------------
Silver Soundset ll presents a silvery-sounding alternative to some of the more intrusive computer sounds that are available. Almost every time you make a move with the cursor, you're treated to a delicate sound that doesn't hurt your eardrums. It sounds like the plucking of harp strings or the jingle of tiny bells. (Tucows Review)

-------------
Star Trek Soundset 1.0
Freeware
-------------
"Beam me up, Scotty!"
"Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a moon shuttle conductor!"
"Live long and prosper."
"Make it so."

Know a "Star Trek" fan? Are you a closet "Trekker"?
If so, you've got to check out the Star Trek Soundset. Enhance your Mac with sounds from the beloved sci-fi series.

Star Trek Soundset, the release version, works only under OS 8.5-9.
