Hi again,
Testing sounds is a lot of work. So I decided to take small steps. Haha I didn't plan for this pun.
Because the sound I tested is stairs.wav
Here's a comparison video:
I used
sox INPUT.wav -r 22500 -c 1 stairs.wav
Warning: if you change the bitrate to 8, the sound will be horrible, I recommend you keep it at 16 bit
///
Now I feel like testing more, how about save.wav?
The original is also 16bit. Nice thing about my replacement: it loops without a click, as opposed to the original.
///
I tested my suggested picker.wav and quack.wav and didn't like them. Putting it on my to-redo-list
///
I don't think I can test sword1.wav or steps.wav quickly.
///
axe.wav sounds good to me
sox INPUT.wav -r 22500 -c 1 axe.wav

Here's a zip of all three converted files:
Let me know whether it helps if I do testing like this.
Cheers,
Iwan
