The Odour Index - For descriptions of almost all the odours out there, useful for perfumes, pheromones, general smells. If you're writing a forest and want to know what firs smell like, this is a good place to go.
The Flavour Index - Other half of the above site: For descriptions of almost all the flavours out there, useful for an incredible amount of olfactory descriptions.
MyNoise.net - Comprehensive ambient sound and noise generator of which many of the sounds are free and those that aren't only require a token donation to get access to. Stephane is lovely, and you have immense control over the exact soundscapes you play. Might I recommend Medieval Library when you have writer's block and want to feel like a person in a medieval library listening to Gregorian monks in the distance working hard.
