Who made sound effects?

If you're looking for the person who did this for a given movie, check the credits. They may be listed as "Foley artist."

If you're looking for what such a person is called, "Foley artist" or some slight variant on that is pretty typical.

The reason for this addresses a different question that you may have been trying to ask: They're called Foley artists because of Jack Foley, who did this for Universal Studies starting back when the very first "talkies" came out.

Foley artists are necessary because the microphones used to record sound in movies don't pick up anything much outside their immediate area (i.e. dialogue). If a car drives through a puddle in the background, the microphone probably won't pick up the splash, but it will look funny in the finished movie if a car makes a visible splash with no accompanying "ssssshh" sound. Foley artists add the sound that should be there back in in "post"; that is, after the filming itself is completed.

It depended on the sound effects. Often they were made using the real deal. For example, we know that the sound of a cannon was made by firing a real cannon (this is what led to the Globe Theatre fire of June 29, 1613). A "flourish of trumpets" was made using real trumpets.
