About GLOSS
The Grainger Library of Sampled Sounds (GLOSS) is free to use and available for personal, educational, and research purposes. The library, which will continue to grow, includes sounds of instruments in the house (such as bells, pianos, and harmonium), and recordings of ambient sounds in and of the house (ie: doors closing and traffic on the street).
GLOSS is a project of the Percy Grainger Society, developed through the Museum Association of New York (MANY) “Building Capacity, Creating Sustainability, Growing Accessibility” program.
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services [CAGML-246991-OMLS-20].
