Hi there!
If you use 86Box to emulate different eras of PCs, you might notice that after the 5.0 version which added an UI manager, they included floppy disk sounds, but the script used in FreeBSD to install multiple machine ROMS is not updated to include them, so the option will offer a blank list.
luckily they are installed on the user directory, so installing them is not too difficult if you know the route. Those are looked at ~/.local/share/86Box/roms/floppy
I scp them from a Linux machine, but the project and sounds are included in the official github, so in theory it should be possible to just git clone those into the previous directory:
https://github.com/86Box/assets/tree/main/sounds/fdd
Just this. It is not something that will probably change your life, but it bothered me enough to research a solution, and wanted to share it. Have a nice one!
