Sound files and exercises for Peter Ladefoged's A Course in Phonetics, but they are not identical to those on the CD-ROM accompanying the 5th ed., Heinle, 2006 [2005, obviously].

From the above, all the IPA vowel and consonant symbols displayed and pronounced.

Sound files for Vowels and Consonants by Peter Ladefoged, 2nd ed., Blackwell, 2005.

A full IPA [International Phonetic Alphabet] chart with the latest revisions from http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/ipa.html, the home site of the IPA [International Phonetic Association], with information on fonts.

Sounds of English and Spanish, with phonetic transcriptions, audio and video, excellent midsagittal animations of the articulations, plus an interactive labeled chart of vocal tract anatomy. (Univ. of Iowa.)

IPA Help is a useful program of IPA charts and sounds, with self-tests, which can be installed on Windows computers. Download it free here. (The free version works just as well as the non-free upgrade.) Formerly the web site had a fairly functional web demonstration version, but now it's just screen shots. (Summer Institute of Linguistics)

Voicing: Slow motion animated film of vocal folds vibrating. At normal speed this would be a blur, between 200 and 1600 vibrations per second. (UCLA Phonetics Lab)

MRI's of subjects pronouncing the English vowels (Univ. of Illinois Speech and Language Engineering Group). The vowels here are in ARPABET phonetic transcription, suitable for email on the Internet (formerly called the ARPAnet) because the ARPABET includes only letters in the 128-bit ASCII computer character set.
