WAV samples of 59 beeper sound effects for ZX Spectrum I designed using my own software BeepFX (http://shiru.untergrund.net/files/beepfx.zip). Very primitive harsh sounds for some hardcore retro stuff.

These are just what I was looking for to add to my Spectrum "remakes", like Super Spectrum Wiorld and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9t12X4jOHY Thanks!
This is cool! Could you create some more effects like *screams or maybe *die? I don't know how to create it but it's amazing! I have some scream samples but I don't know how to do it in retro style and this program Beep FX doesn't tell me much.
Screams and other vocal sounds are samples dowgraded to very low 1-bit quality. You can do it with BeepFX, but there is no WAV export (yet), I recorded the output using a ZX Spectrum emulator. Some 'what you hear' audio recorder will work too.
To get the sound in BeepFX, start the program, click on the Sample tab at the right, click Import WAV, Open WAV, close the import window. Now you can double click the sound in the list to hear imported sound (you can use double click while import window is visible, to hear changes that introduced with the quality setting).
You can also send me your samples, and I'll convert them for you.
Used this in my game entry for the Winter Game Jam.
