Every sound a WoW player knows by ear, in one place: the level-up fanfare, the quest-complete chime, the auction house bell, the murloc gurgle, the ready check. Press play on any card to hear it right here, or open its page to download it as an MP3, an iPhone ringtone (.m4r) or an OGG file for a Discord soundboard.

Each sound is taken from the game client and named the way players talk about it. Every page gives the file's client path and FileDataID, its exact length, and notes on where you hear it in game.
