I haven't been able to vet this as much as I would like, so I can give you few guarantees.

A website called free-ebooks.net is offering some free audiobooks, during the month of May.

There are hundreds of audiobooks. Free-ebooks.net says that they are professionally narrated. I downloaded one (short) one; it is professionally narrated, no doubt about it, and otherwise sounded fine.

Don't expect free audio of current bestsellers or anything like that. I didn't recognize very many of the titles (and I was looking at non-fiction titles, my preference). But if someone has gone to the time, trouble, and expense of producing professionally-narrated audiobooks, there's got to be something going for them, don't they?

You must be a member in order to download, but I think that all is involved is providing a valid email address and creating a password. Alternatively, I think that you can join using your Facebook account credentials. Once you have an account, free-ebooks.net will send you emails, on a regular basis, offering some of their free ebooks.

I think, from some things that free-ebooks.net says, that you are allowed up to 5 freebies (using any combination of audiobooks and ebooks) this month, and each month thereafter you will be allowed to download up to 5 ebooks (no free audiobooks after this month's promotion, unless you upgrade to the "V.I.P." membership, which you have to pay for and it looks like they will repeatedly nag you to do).

The webpage at this URL looks like a good place to start: https://www.free-ebooks.net/audiomonth.
