I swear I recall reading somewhere long ago that a sound recording of a thunderstorm or waves crashing on a beach was not copyrightable because there was no human _expression_ involved.
There does have to be some _expression_, and there is some in sound samples.Other sounds from people and such might get covered, but I thought there had to be some level of human "_expression_" to be copyrightable.
