Yes, a truly potent, virile sound. Man, it breaks me up every time I hear it.
But I also like lightsabers dueling, the super-ominous sound of a shotgun being cocked, train horns in the distance, the doppler-effect sound of a railroad crossing bell heard from within the train, and most classic cartoon sound effects.
I forgot to mention the sound the robots made on the old Transformers cartoon when they’d transform into vehicles, that “chk-chk-chk” sound. I can’t pick up one of the old toys without making that sound!
Some of the older Nintendo and Super Nintendo games have really distinct sounds that make me smile, like the Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda games.
Food cooking, especially meat on a barbecue grill.
My very favorite sound is a baby sucking on the bottle (or breast), making that delicious little “mnh,” “mnh,” sound, half-moan, half-swallow. I love the way the little line between their eyes smoothes out, and their eyes half close with bliss, too. Can’t imagine being that happy any more!
I also love these sounds:
rain hitting the roof
rumble of distant thunder
toddlers belly-laughing
my parents’ voices
my eldest daughter saying “Mama!” when she’s excited
my youngest saying, “I love you, Mama”
the sound of wind sighing through the Mouse’s Tank trail in the Valley of Fire
voices with Deep South drawls, especially Mississippi drawls
real British accents
the pop of bubble wrap

when we’re fixing to have a tornado, the wind chimes outside the back door start with a light ching, ching… then a little faster… a little faster. Yummy spooky thrill.
In case you want to see the episode that’s from, it’s a game of sound effects in which two women from the audience have to supply sounds for Ryan and Colin (who try to cue the women for sounds). They mention a duck and the women makes a duck sound. Then Ryan cues an elephant and the woman makes the same duck sound. I’ve seen it 2 or 3 times and it still cracks me up. Drew laughs all during the sketch and for some time afterwards.
The THX sound.
Bagpipes!
My toddler cousin laughing.
The sound effects from pretty much any old Shareware game.
I forget who mentioned old book pages flipping, but ditto that. Flpflpflpflpflph…
Altos singing in harmony.
The Beatles singing in harmony.
The “click” sound effect in Windows when you minimize/maximize windows.
Klezmorim rocking out.
A Muzzerrain(sic) calling to prayer in the morning - exotic (not sure I’d feel that way for long tho)
Bowling pins / Pool balls after a sweet strike/pot
The screech of a buzzard and the hoot of an owl - freedom
Sound of the surf rolling in
And of course rain on the window pane
I love a sound I just created… I.e. the multiple dull cracky sound a stiff human neck makes when you jerk it to free up tension. I love the resulting feeling too.
