Newb's question about custom SFX

[Summerdown]

I wasn't sure where to ask this, so... I tried here. (Don't hold me up to nuthin, I may or may not participate in ROM Hacking. Whether I do or not, this is an important question creatively speaking.)

What sort of software, if any, do people use to make custom sound effects in their fan-games or hacks?
If I do go the way of hacking I'd want to put in a few different sounds of course. If not, well... I always wanted to use those soundmakers whatever they are, to make custom cries for fakemon stuck in my head.

I don't know if anyone has used it for fangames before, but there's SFXR for making sound effects: https://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html

I wouldn't be too sure about creating, but for editing - which I personally do most - I use Audacity.

Y'know, looking up custom SFX creators (retro ones especially,) has been a lot of fun. ^~^
Clicking links and entering a few key words, I found this little dealy called Bfxr.
And without too much thought I made this little sound! (I know, not too impressive, but it's somewhere. ^~^)

(Oh, thanks guys for the help, I wouldn't have known where to start without one little link.)

Well for making sound effect I go out into the field and record them. So if I need a train I got to the railway station and wait for a train to drive past.

I dunno man, trains sound so realistic, and I wanna get some retro-sounding noises and stuff. Sounds like a lotta work taking the sound and pressing it down to a file-size and type that can fit in a Pokemon Hack. {D:}
