Other Sounds has been further divided into Electronic Sounds and Natural Sounds. Electronic Sounds 

includes recordings that were electronically produced and/or appear to have been modified 

electronically. Natural Sounds includes recordings that appear to have had no electronic or soundmodification 

actions performed on them.
