Where can I find this sound?

I'm working on a home video to give to grandparents for christmas. In part of it, I've got a newspaper spinning in with a custom headline, aged to look like old school b&w movies. I just need some kind of sound to go with it.

I'm thinking of the tones you hear at the beginning of old news clips, like movietone news or such. Or possibly just the sound of news presses running.

Anyone have such a sound effect, or know where I could get one?

I took a look in iMovie and it has something called "Vintage News". I would imagine it might sound a bit "cheerier" than what you're looking for, but I can e-mail you the short version if you'd like to hear it (PM your e-mail addy).

Also, I'm trying to think of a song to play during the baby pictures at the beginning... any suggestions for a fitting song? (Baby boy, maybe something with a 'growing up' theme?)

Country preferred, but I'm open to any suggestions.

The only thing that comes to mind at the moment, but it's probably more appropriate for an older boy, is "Keep it between the lines" by Ricky Van Shelton.

The more I mess with it, the more I'm thinking a song might not be appropriate... the sections of photos are short enough it'd be hard to make something fit. Of course, the logical answer is to put the sections of photos together, but we're trying to do this chronologically, showing him growing from a newborn to his current 1st grader size. As such, we have photos and videos interspersed depending on the age/date they were taken.

It's just weird to go from no audio in a photo section, to full audio in a video section, and back to no audio when the photos come again.

Here's one possible "news" sound file I found online (http://www.nebraskaradio.com/sounds/Mutual2.mp3), and here's a second possible sound file I put online (http://www.ellwanger.tv/collect/jingles/audio/drakenews.mp3).

Thanks Train, but I saw your post too late... exporting the video now, and it takes way too long to go back and do part of it again. :)
