I have a little sound file I want to loop - it's an alarm sound, the TMP Intruder Alert one. Kinda topical since a big black guy walked into our offices yesterday, picked up my boss' laptop, and walked out! How would I go about editing a sound file like that?

It might help if you actually had someone to stop the people who walk in out of the blue and walk out again with computers. They're called "security."

Not everyone can afford to hire security staff. Just keep a shotgun behind the counter. Ot better yet, make a wav. file of the sound of a pump-action shotgun being pumped.

Well, loads of constructive advice then. We don't know how he got in, but suspect it was while the guard (who's a Turkish idiot) was away - he leaves the door locked, but there are loads of people who know the codes and would let someone in if they looked like they knew where they were going.

He was seen on our floor - but before anyone could think to do any more than to challenge him - and he was big and scary-looking, and they were all female - he was gone.

What's the difference between a Turkish Idiot and your average, run-of-the-mill Idiot?

Language mostly. The Turks tend to shoot first and forget the questions.
I used to work in a department store, where a guy walked in, grabed a display VCR, and ran to the door. I saw him as he was running, yelled to the manager, and we chased him to the car waiting in the parking lot. He jumped in and they took off, as we got the licence number. The cops checked it out, but we didn't get the VCR back. They weren't worth that much even then 15 years ago, but it still pissed me off.

Hang on a sec, I thought Vogon Poet and First of Two were the same person, what's the story?
When you say you want to loop the file, do you mean that you have the file and you just want to loop it (sorry if this insults your intelligence), or do you want to get the file in the first place? Maybe you could record it off the telly or something and subtract off the noise using AcidWav or Gold Wave (shareware available at www.goldwave.com)

Ya must have gotten it mixed up when Vogon was formerly known as "The First One". He said that since there's already a "first", better get a new/better/flashier/catchier name.

I was the first First. Probably. No-one's quite sure. Regardless, I'm the Quantum First and Robert's the Binary First.
As for our security guard, he's an idiot, and he's also very Turkish. Eats unspeakable-smelling food behind the desk. I'm sick of having to hold my breath while I run between lift and front door.
And - who was it who actually asked a question relating to the topic? - I have the file, but it's only 3 seconds long. I wanna loop it.

Well, now that we know the difference between a Turkish idiot and a regular idiot... What's the difference between a big black thief, and a regular big thief?
Anyway, just use the Windoze Sound Recorder. In the Edit menu, use "Insert File" a few times, and keep inserting that same file, as many times as you want it to loop.
