Whalesong:
The peculiar clicking and whooshing sounds made by a PEP modem such as the Telebit Trailblazer as it tries to synchronize with another PEP modem for their special high-speed mode. This sound isn't anything like the normal two-tone handshake between conventional V-series modems and is instantly recognizable to anyone who has heard it more than once. It sounds, in fact, very much like whale songs. This noise is also called "the moose call" or "moose tones".
Some psychoacoustical stimuli: pure tones, tone complexes, clicks, multichannel noise with varying properties, examples for sound localization etc. If this is the sort of thing you can do, contact me & I'll put together some specs. —Mike.lifeguard 23:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Three movements of Sonata in A minor for Solo Flute
I would ask someone to send me recordings of the three movements of Sonata in A minor for Solo Flute, Wq. 132, H 562 (CPE Bach) to use them on my draft with the same name on wikipedia. Best regards, Enivak (talk) 22:22, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
All music audio from Infraction and Scott Buckley
I think these are some of the highest-quality free music and it would be good to have all of these in WMC. For example at some point there could be a proper media player that can be embedded in Wikipedia articles about musical genres or used to listen to free music in general (see this issue regarding WikiVibes). It's tedious to upload them all manually – is there an audio file importer to do so?
There already are many files of Scott Buckley here but many are missing and many of these would be useful and all of them are high-quality. I've uploaded some Infraction music audio files.
Please use the standardized established useful format of "{Artist(s)} - {Track name}" (or – instead of -) when uploading audio files of music. Could somebody please rename all the badly named files in Category:Audio files of Scott Buckley (composer)?
The free tracks by Infraction are on YouTube, not all of them are marked as CCBY, only some of them. They could also be uploaded using video2commons.
This request and its 3 subrequests wouldn't be quick to implement and I'm in favor of things like badges and stats for closing media gaps, especially when these are important and the media would be used on WP. (This could also be done retrospectively.) --Prototyperspective (talk) 11:14, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Converting free music videos to audio files
There are many video files of music where there is no audio file version of them. It would be good to convert them to audio so they could be used as above and in any other way if people prefer to just use the audio file. This is especially useful for music videos which only have some music visualization where it's questionable whether it's warranted to have the video files here rather than only the audio files (some examples are here).
Audio files of music of genres where such are missing
There are many music genres that don't have any audio file (or only very few suboptimal ones) that could help illustrate how they sound like in Wikipedia articles and in Wikidata. Could somebody create a scan for music genres that don't have audio files of music?

Please identify & remove non-free audio from videos
Please identify the music tracks of videos in Category:Videos featuring unidentified music and move it to the above category or if possible remove the non-free audio right away if the music is not free. It seems like even videos that have been featured on the Main page have had non-free music audio in them.
Note: an alternative of course is to replace the audio with some equivalent or also fitting audio track. Prototyperspective (talk) 09:25, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Examples with /x/ (wtritten j, gi, ge) and /θ/ (written z, ci, ce) pronounced by a native speaker from Spain, e.g. Zaragoza and Gijón. For italian Wikiversity, but certainly useful for other projects as well. Thanks! --Pegasovagante (talk) 22:15, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Zaragoza and Gijón.
I was the one pronouncing the other letters that you have on that page- if you provide me with a list of suggestion, I can continue the pronunciation, otherwise, I will give context to some of the words on that page. Feel free also to give directions about pacing, repetition, etc. ----jynus (talk) 19:32, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
@Pegasovagante: I have completed your table at italian Wikiversity (including some alternative names), and uploaded also the files on the right. Let me know if I can do more for you, otherwise I would consider the request fulfilled. --jynus (talk) 16:52, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
Necesito a una persona de Castilla para decir "Hinojar de Cervera". Gracias.

Link to a specific time in an audio
I have thinked about adding to a link to specific parts of the audio. I have seen it at other podcasts that there is a possibility to set a link to a specific time in the audio. So for example to second 300 of the audio. Is that possible in Wikimedia Commons and can you please show me an exaple how that works.--Hogü-456 (talk) 20:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
A video version for sections of en:List of common misconceptions (one video per section). A few could be embedded there and it's the kind of video many people are likely to be interested in while the article in text form is tl;dr and barely gets read and much of the info would be good to know for society. While the list is incomplete and misses some major myths and misconceptions while featuring lots of relatively trivial ones, this is the kind of info that society needs to have distributed (correcting popular false beliefs in specific). --Prototyperspective (talk) 09:51, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
@RoyZuo: Like this one? Free Footage Wooden Christmas Music Box (YouTube). There is another one not fully fitting, but in my opinion worth uploading here anyway: Silent Night (YouTube, too). Both found with a quick search for silent night music box and afterwards filtering for CC License content. —Speravir – 23:30, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Removing nonfree frame from videos
I don't know if there is a category of these but many videos contain nonfree frames that should be removed. See {{Non-free frame}} and Category:De minimis. For example, this video File:Game_Theory-_The_HORROR_That_Threatens_SCP.webm contains the book cover of Harry Potter. Please remove the nonfree frames from it. User:Speravir already did such removal for videos featured as MOTD. Maybe this can be made much easier and quicker via some gadget/tool or something. --Prototyperspective (talk) 18:11, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
I have not yet had the opportunity to try it out myself, but there is the VideoCutTool, cf. Commons:VideoCutTool. The tool had been down for a while and was only recently restarted (phab:T381732). The mentioned videos I’ve edited locally on my computer with Avidemux. —Speravir – 23:40, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
