I complained recently about some of Wikipedia's sound recordings illustrating various IPA vowels and consonants on their IPA Help page. I've made a few new recordings which I'm offering to insert in place of the recordings that I think are inadequate, but I haven't yet published them. You can see them in the right-hand column of the Wikipedia table that I've copied into my "sandbox", along with various observations. The table is still missing the vowel [ɒ]; I have made a recording of it but not yet put it into the table.
The recording quality is not all that good, as I don't have very good equipment at home, and I feel rather rusty on IPA segments. Still, I do think some improvement is needed in the WP recordings. I'd be grateful for any suggestions for improvements, or offers of better recordings.
