My pal, Rob Petrovic, passed on this site. As you think about incorporating sound into your animation or classroom, MP3cut.net is a Web site that allows you to upload a file and trim the in and out points (start and finish) in order to take out unwanted portions of an audio file. There are several formats available – .mp3, iPhone ringtones, .wav, .aac and .amr. It’d be interesting to see how students think about how to utilize this one!

Nature Sound Player
Here’s a simple site that offers 30 minute clips of nature noises. Ranging from birds to ocean waves and storms, they might be a good way to help students block distractions while they work independently.

Vocaroo
Here’s a fantastic little tool from @vocaroo that you and your students can use to record voice. The interface is very simple – it’s a one-button click to start recording. Once your piece is finished, students can retry or have a listen. Then, the powerful part comes – one may then save that recording in a variety of formats – a sharing link, an email link, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, StumbleUpon and a variety of others. Students can also generate a QR code with one click – and that gets me thinking of many different possibilities!
