This site may be useful

Sounds section of the Zompist Language Construction Kit

One very helpful site is Paul Meier Dialect Service - IPA Charts, which has charts of IPA symbols that play the corresponding sound on click.

And since I mentioned IPA, here's IPA Helper, which helps with getting html code for IPA symbols.
