You can make your own fairly easy. You just need a microphone on your computer or MP3 or something, and just experement. Many things around the house can be used to make sounds they usually don't.

A belt or a measuring stick.

or some sort of stick, liek a broomstick and just swign it around, it wont be a perfect whoosh, itll be more like a whistley whoosh but i doubt anyone would care

I just needed a whoosh sound for a quick close up for a movie I made last Saturday. I used my $2 microphone for my computer and made it with my mouth, then added echo effect all in Start>Programs>Accessories>Entertainment>Sound Recorder... best sound recording software I ever had.

ROFL, if you had windows movie maker you could have recorded with that, but then again you wouldnt have been able to add echo. How did the whoosh sound?( the one that you made)

Lots of (Hollywood) films just record the sounds by using normal objects. However, they have incredible mics and equipment too. I was in a Sheet Metal shop the other day, and there were hollow tubes of metal. I turned one on it's side and tapped it with a dowel, and it made a cool "bang" sound with an echo. It would sound good for a trailer when the film title comes up.
