Others have mentioned shakobox, which is terrific.  It might be overkill
for what you're doing (and I think it only works on Macs).  There are
also CDs of sound effects for multimedia, which my students find useful
for games.  Files are in aiff format.  Choose File>>Import as Control>>
Audio File and broswe for the sound you want.  Then use the "play"
command within Rev to play the sound.

As I said, we have CDs of these sounds, from FTC Publishing, but there
are probably lots of sound effects for free out on the Web.

have fun!
