    Buy a nice microphone. Put together an environment with good acoustics. I use our guest room. It has enough furniture in it but also hardwood floors, so the sounds aren't too dead. Start up an audio recorder (Audacity is a fantastic free tool) and just start making noises. Bring in stuff from your kitchen, your garden shed, close, belts, shoes, keychains, coins... underwear (that elastic tho). Get a solid track of a bunch of sound effects.

    Then, sit down, clear your mind, and listen. Try to forget which objects made those sounds and think about your game and what kind of feeling you want. As you come across good sounds start pulling those wave sections onto different tracks and tinkering with it, or layering it with other sounds on the main track. You will spend DAAAYS doing this, but you'll build a nice little home made sound library. The nicer your mic and environment the more crisp and authentic your sounds will be.
