These sounds together are really great. It makes me think of classy men sitting in a mahogany paneled bar sipping on scotch and brandy while smoking pipes or cigars. Super classy.
#86439
This troper just needs to thank the original troper for this. Seriously, I've got these bookmarked and I think I might do this on a daily basis now.
#86440
Seconded, the troper who posted these three sounds is a beautiful person.
#86441
Where has this been my whole life? Whoever posted this, I love you. Mmmmm, I could totally fall asleep to this....
#86442
Similarly to how certain gaming sounds are wired directly to this troper's OhCrap reflex, certain sounds are also wired to her Oh Yay reflex. For example: in the middle of an intense KingdomHearts battle, having anyone call out "Sora!" qualifies because it means either somebody's just healed me and I can keep giving it my all, or the game's gone into MercyMode and has sent Mickey Mouse to my aid. The sound the Cure spells makes also qualifies.
#86443
A lot of melodies also qualify. Xion's theme, Sanctuary, and Nana Mizuki's Pray all dominate my iTunes Top 25 for a reason.
#86444
Also, the chime that plays when you complete a puzzle in TheLegendOfZelda games.
#86445
The shattering sound of a successful Soul Crush in Soul Calibur 4 is music to this troper's ears, because she knows ''exactly what it means''... '''''[++CRITICAL FINISH TIME, BITCHES!++]''''' Unless, of course - and it's a rare occasion - she happens to be on the receiving end...
#86446
For this troper, cats. "Meow!"
#86447
This troper woke up a 2AM to that sound outside his window. And he didn't mind at all.
#86448
Thirded with this ailurophilic troper. Especially with the "chirrup" greeting sound and purring.
#86449
I want to wake up to a cat nagging me for breakfast every morning <3
#86450
This troper plays guitar and movies and is used to working with audio. A lot of things sounds AMAZING through a condenser mic. Like feet on leaves, footsteps on wooden floor (especially if it's male heels that you use with a suit) and most of all somebody chewing. Oh and speaking of music, a good guitar with a cranked up tube amp beats few thing. Except perhaps a really good EQ'ed bass kick live (when you get that thump inside you and still hear a lot of attack).
#86451
This troper being a gun nut, his comforting sounds include the sound of a SMLE's bolt action being worked as well as just the sound of a magazine being loaded. No particular reason for the second one, but 1911-pattern pistols' magazine catches make an awesome noise.
#86452
Rain. This troper lives in a state that's been in drought for as long as she can remember, so rain on the roof is a beautiful thing to hear.
#86453
You may enjoy this then.
#86454
I love you.
#86455
This troper lives in South-East Queensland, which only a few years ago was in such a severe drought we were down to 160 litres of water a day, and the major dam in the region was at less than 20%. As of October 2010, we've had to release some of the water and had almost a week of rain. Especially rain at night, when you're falling asleep...
#86456
This troper loves the sound of squeaky clean teeth.
#86457
The ice cream truck. A cheap rendition of Turkey in the Straw has never sounded so good!
#86458
"Mmmmmm..." (Although I have many more Most Wonderful Feelings...)
#86459
For this Troper - Windows Starting Up. Because it means another fun-filled day of gaming... Haha...
#86460
This troper takes it a step further: Her boyfriend customized her laptop(An Acer Aspire running Windows 7) so that it's start-up tune is the mac start-up used for {{WALL-E}}'s fully-charged sound, a movie that both he and I hold dear(especially since we met on a forum dedicated to it).
#86461
For this troper: The varying audible responses (moans, sighs, etcetera.) someone gives when he or she is being massaged. Really makes you feel like what you're doing has that little special effect on people. Also: The sounds around you when you relax in a forest or on a meadow. Birds chirping, winds through the leaves or the grass, insects buzzing, all that.
#86462
This troper can listen to MichellePhan's makeup tutorials for hours. Infact, he has. Sometimes I get odd looks from family who notice that I'm watching a tutorial on women's make up, but her voice is just that pleasing. Here's a link, for those curious: http://www.youtube.com/user/MichellePhan
#86463
This troper (who usually shows nothing but contempt when the topic makeup is brought up) is glad to learn he's not alone in that.
#86464
This troper will third the opinion.
#86465
this troper thinks that the most wonderful sounds in the world are the sounds of her girlfriend's voice and the sound of her friend Matt's voice (he has a lovely accent). <3
#86466
For me, the most wonderful sound in existence is the surging of an aircraft's engines as it prepares for take-off. Well I guess it shouldn't be too surprising, considering I come from a long line of pilots - my great-great-grandfather was the second person in South Africa to learn how to fly (he was taught by the Wright Brothers themselves)! He flew with what was then called the Royal South African Air Force during World War I, my grandfather flew during World War II, and my father's also a pilot (though he never served in the Air Force, his cousin did). All of that means that I've been around aircraft since early childhood, and aircraft engines (both jet and propellor) bring back a lot of good memories for me.
#86467
For This troper, it's sounds of engines, Like Muscle cars, Vintage aircraft, jets and afterburners, Tanks you name it unlike those Hybrid-cars
#86468
Its also the sounds of certain guns when Either Firing or being reloaded/pumped/or Readied.
#86469
Of course these are mostly from Live action TV or Video games ({{Stargate Atlantis}}'s P90 for example)
#86470
The A-10 T-bolts Dakka}} GAU-18 chain gun works too
#86471
the sounds of the weapons in and Conquer}} Renegade stand out for Him like when one of the tanks is being reloaded
#86472
And {{Planet side}}'s Aircraft, and vehicle Weapons, Engines
#86473
This Troper has nothing but love for the sounds in coffee shops which would annoy others - hissing espresso makers, screaming blenders, and clinking porcelain.
#86474
This troper too. They almost seem to give of a air of warmth, cosiness, the present (???), and activity.
#86475
there's something about an active air conditioner or fan that this troper finds relaxing, probably the fact that it drowns out other noises. as such, she always has one running when she goes to sleep, even in the wintertime
#86476
This troper loves to walk in fresh snow, and hates slush - because slush doesn't make that wonderful crunching noise when you step in it. She's also seconding the above troper who likes the sound of rain.
#86477
The cracking noise hard-cover books make when you open them for the first time.
#86478
Your mileage will definitely vary, but this troper absolutely loves the sound of knuckles/back/neck popping. Most satisfying sound ever.
#86479
Oh, this troper HATED that sound at an early age, but since he does it to his hands and neck in the morning, it's more of a relief than seething pain.
#86480
The squeak of an MP-89 train from the Paris Métro 14 leaving the station, or the buzz of a Z 20500 from RER D, or the whizzing sound of a Citadis T2 tramway, all of that bring fond memories of Paris to this editor.
#86481
In the same vein, The "dou-dou-douuuuu" 3 to 5 note takeoff noise of a Montreal Metro MR-73 train. Also heard on two older MR-63 trains used as prototypes. These two are much louder and a real treat to find.
#86482
Noisy mousewheels. That crunchy sound they make... daaaamn. Even mousewheelup is good, but ''especially'' mousewheeldown. I'm not a programmer or a hacker, but if there's anything that can put me in a "computery" mood, it's scrolling the mousewheel down. Best sound ever.
#86483
Remember when TV's had dials? This 1985-born troper remembers them. Especially the "tunk" or "teek" the dials made everytime you changed the channel.
#86484
Or the sound of loading a cartridge console.
#86485
If your pet has ever run away, the most wonderful sound is the sound of them announcing that they've come back.
#86486
Nearly any "coin inserted" sound in an arcade game. Sometimes on MAME, I'll spam the coin insert button just to hear it repeatedly.
#86487
Heavy breathing, for less-than-innocent reasons.
#86488
YourMileageMayVary, but this troper has put DVD episodes of MST3K on TV at night to fall asleep to. Nothing soothes his ears than the gentle sound of riffing.
#86489
And then in Brawl, when HE gets the chance use Jigglypuff's Final Smash, that weird sound when she grows to nearly half the stage size is worth it.
#86490
This troper is somehow charmed by the 'ting!' sound a typewriter makes before it... does that... cool rewind-a-majig. Also when this troper got lost in New York of all places, it was terrifying, and hearing my family's voices after who knows how many minutes/hours made me want to cry.
#86491
On the subject of typewriters, the 'clack clack clack' noise they make when you type is pretty sweet.
#86492
This HappilyMarried troper's most wonderful sound is her husband singing. To clarify, her husband is a great music lover...but horribly tone deaf. He sings enthusiastically but badly, so he will not sing where anyone can hear him except his wife. When he's singing, he's happy and content, so to Troper, it really is a good sound.
#86493
As any shutterbug will tell you, the sound of a DSLR camera's shutter click. It's amongst the reasons why this troper hauls around her monster of a camera instead of pocketing a point-and-shoot; the pre-recorded ka-chic is ''just not the same''.
#86494
What? No one else likes the sound of a heartbeat? Shame.
#86495
This troper is going to show himself as a complete anorak for this one... but steam locomotives, particularly if being worked hard. The sound of internal combustion has NOTHING on that.
#86496
For an example, Moguls 2968 and 7325 climb the Lickey Incline (the steepest gradient on the British mainline, so they're working quite hard).
#86497
The sound that soda bottles make when you open them,
#86498
My best friend's laugh <3
#86499
For This Troper it is the sound of a busy street. I just love to sit back relax with a book and listen to the buzz of a street.
#86500
The whistling of a teakettle, because it means you're about to enjoy a hot, tasty drink. ^_^
#86501
For this Troper, it's hearing the sound of his pen pal's voice over Skype...She has an accent.
#86502
When you're working with molten glass to make something like a paperweight and you have it on the end of the rod, and it's cooling really fast, it starts making this totally amazing clack noise when you use the jackknife on it.
#86503
For @/DesertDragon, it's the sound of birds and insects in early spring. There's this one that I always listen for; I have no idea what animal makes this noise, but it's a low, clicky "Eeeeeeeeeeee" (I live in the Midwestern United States, if anyone knows). Hearing that call is always my personal signifier that winter is over. The sounds of nature have always been my favorite part about living in the suburbs and the countryside, since you don't really get that in the city (those bird call generators don't help at all, since they sound so fake once you pick up on the patterns).
#86504
A Cicada?
#86505
The music in Super Mario Galaxy(1 and 2). It's beautiful.
#86506
My girlfriend's voice. She has a soft and sweet voice and I could listen to her talk all day long.
#86507
This one's weird, but the sound of rustling papers.
#86508
This Troper likes the sound of storms. It might scare some people, but I like listening to the rain, wind, and thunder. Also, who's played Super Mario RPG? That game has some ''awesome'' sound samples, such as the clarinet and bassoon in this, the marimba in this, and the organ in this. On that note (no pun intended), I really like the sound of low woodwind instruments in general, both in real life and in video games.
#86509
The sound of a space shuttle being launched. Oh my god. That roar is one of the very few sounds that literally makes me feel weak in the knees.
#86510
To this troper, the sound of rain is one, just because it's so peaceful. Another is the crunch your boots make as you cross fresh snow, partly because she associates it with beautiful, pristine winter landscapes in the crisp air.
#86511
"BIG EIGHTIES WEEKEND! Mix Ninety-siiiix!" Tulsa's got one of the best radio stations ever.
#86512
My cat makes the most unusual noise ever, it's sort of bubbly with a hint of a meow. We've nicknamed her space cat because of how alien it sounds. She also chirps like a bird whenever she sees an animal outside.
#86513
WCCO's theme. Ah, the nostalgia of my favorite Minnesota radio station's all-vocal tune.
#86514
For this troper, it's the single beep of his computers (or the ''bong'' noise on his only Macintosh) shortly before the screen flashes to life. Glass shattering and long multiple beeps however...
#86515
My two-year-old niece singing the WonderPets theme song.
#86516
This troper will argue for the sound of snow falling. It totally has a sound! Also, wet tires on pavement, which makes me feel safe, as long as I don't think too much about it.
#86517
For this troper, there was a time when the {{Facebook}} IM sound was this, because 99% of incoming IM's would come from his (now-ex) girlfriend.
