Hi guys. Kinda a random thread here. I'm just curious about all of your favorite sounds. It can be music or something you hear day to day or whatever you want. Videos or descriptions either one are fine. Just curious. Might get you to think about something you haven't really thought about before.
Here's mine for sure. Being an aerospace engineer I just love the SR-71 Blackbird. Crazy aircraft. Super fast and designed in a much shorter time than anything we get today was (even though the people who made it didn't have access to computers to do their calculations). If you don't care about pre-flight checks just skip to about 30 seconds in.

The startup sequence from Mechwarrior. Oh yes. Oh yeah.
Loading a shotgun shell. Everyone knows it, everyone loves it.
Appropriately, the sound of dice hitting the table. Every time I hear something like it I turn around expecting people to be having a random 40K throwdown.
I'd link them, but I'm at work :(
I'm sure I have many more, I'll think on it.
EDIT: Oh snap! Exactly what Krellnus said too. Love the sound of rain in general.

We were once so close to heaven, St. Peter came out and gave us medals; declaring us "The nicest of the damned".

That is my favourite sound.
If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it. item 87, skippys list

Also +1 for the Bacon in a pan, and I'd also like to add the snap when you open the ring-pull on a cold can of drink on a hot day.

- The sound of coffee brewing
- Rain or a storm
- Walking on fresh snow
- The crunch of ice underfoot
- The crunch of dried up leaves
- Our dogs
- The slide on a pistol being released to chamber a round from a fresh magazine
- Turbo/supercharger spooling up
- A cam'd V8 idling
- Another vote for light rain on a tin roof
- The action on any firearm. pistol, shotgun, long gun...doesn't matter
- Bottle of beer opening, especially after work
- The hum of an amplifier, especially a nice tube amp - Sound of new guitar strings
- Clicking of a fishing reel
And my favorite noise
- The sound my work phone makes when I log-out for the day
For me, the A-10 is awesome... As is the M2, or M240B they are the sounds of freedom.
As is a good campfire, a good thunderstorm, or rain in general. Being out on a hiking trail and hearing the sound of falling snow is pretty awesome too.
Another one I particularly like, is that sound a guy makes, when he's carrying the ball, and you hit that sweet spot in the ribs that literally forces all the air from his lungs, that kind of "oooomph" sound (and it's a sound that is nearly exclusive to rugby, most other tackling sports use pads, and therefore muffle some of that sound)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Ohh, should also ad in there... the combined sounds of a good scrum

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Hmm, common sound would be the sound of my Challenger, if it made the same noises without the threat of a speeding ticket I would hear it much more frequently.
Second, less common sound is turbo chatter from a twin turbo set-up, some day I want to hear that in my car...
I mean really pretty much any engine noise other than your run o' the mill civic fartcan I love.
As far as relaxing sounds, a Southern evening, with the cicadas and frogs.. Don't realize you miss it until you move somewhere that doesn't have those sounds.
The sound of an LAV starting up. We have AAVs and LAVs in our ramp, but the LAV is particularly pleasant to hear, possibly because of the insulation in the engine compartment. AAVs sound like garbage, even when they're brand new.
I love the sound of lolis yelling excitedly also.

Rain/waterfalls/rivers/sea/any water sounds really.
Speedway bikes.
The Norwich city crowd when we score an important goal.
The sound of a beer bottle opening.
