I dont create sound effects or music. So i dont really know of what is out there availability-wise. I have used Audacity before to clip sound effects for my games. But that is about hte extent i went.
Im sure there is a free version of any paid for software (there always is). It might just not be as well advertised because it is free and thus has no money ot pay for advertisements.
Here is a list i got from Google. It states "linux" because linux often has free open-sourced clones of paid for software. I would be very surprised if one of these does not create music or sound effects, or at least modify sound effects to make them what you want.
You may just have to bite the bullet and learn an extensive program to make sound effects/music. When i started making games i didnt want to use PhotoShop because i dont want to pay for it. So i used GIMP. But that was a learning curve. Its just one of those things you have to learn to get your project done.
