My girlfriends voice. I could listen to her talk for the rest of my life.

Currently?

It's the snowmobile sound from Pingu.

What about all-time?

Basketball net's swoosh on a perfect shot going through it.

[–] biofaust 2 points 2 days ago

The click-click-click of a perfectly healthy bicycle hub when slowing down without pedaling. It's the metaphor sound I use to the feeling of a team working well together: not going to be silent, but you can soundly sleep on it.

The funny grumble my dog makes when he wants me to pet him, and the majestic song of his people my pug can make. Video: https://i.imgur.com/Xh01sK9.mp4

A chirping/trilling cat.

"Mission complete" sound on Space Cadet Pinball

I know it's way too broad and probably very generic of an answer, but music. Cannot live without it since I am pretty much constantly listening to it if I'm not watching a video.

[–] thermal_shock 1 points 2 days ago

Same. Genre doesn't matter, just match the mood. I've built a library of 250k songs, basically my own Spotify of everything you can think of. I put the Spotify app and plexamp on every device I own, even my work laptop, and have speakers and automation in every room to play Coffee Beats playlists during the day if I don't have anything specific I want to hear at that moment.

Heavy rain on a roof.

I have misophonia, so that is basically hell to me

The sound of an English country garden on a Sunday in summer.

This is a composite of several sounds all of which must be quiet or distant enough to not be a distraction but which in conjunction are glorious:

  • childrens’ laughter just far away enough to not be bothersome
  • bees buzzing from flower to flower
  • a propeller-driven light aircraft from a nearby aerodrome (ideally this would be a vintage plane with a Merlin engine, gently warbling in the distance)
  • the sound of leather on willow, and the occasional call and muted cheer, from a cricket match on the village green
  • the gentle burble of a stream
  • church bells, far enough away that their individual peels almost blend into each other
  • the clink of ice as someone pours a perfect gin and tonic.

Waves of the ocean washing ashore.

Thunder

The violin, a muted trumpet, jazz piano, glass harmonica.

The title credits music from the Expanse - Clinton Shorter

Crustation - Purple (Ummah/J Dilla Mix)

Epic choral singing. (Arvo Part - Miserere)

  • Kick drum
  • Perfectly tuned snare
  • Reese bass
  • 303 squelchy bass

Foxes barking or whatever the sound is called that they make.

Is that boss music?

Anguished cries of my enemies.

Mwahahahaha!

The lamentation of their women, I guess.

Star Wars (EP.2): Seismic Bomb

Iron Man repulsor firing

Edit: And the obvious common stuff like rain and so on.

My partner’s voice

The sound of gold or runes dropping in Diablo II

The Mac-n-cheese-stirring sound of us vehemently scrambling up each others’ insides

Rain

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

"Womp womp"

[–] acchariya 2 points 3 days ago

The sound of katydids on a summer night in new england. I haven't heard it like this anywhere else: https://freesound.org/people/Femur52/sounds/644301/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I think I'd go for rain and/or a calm stream of running water

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

The soft crinkling sound of a down comforter.

When I was a kid this was how I knew spring and summer had come. One nested in the trees in our back yard and was very loud. I remember being scared of the sound for a few days before getting used to it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

A really thonky keyboard.

I actually guessed which car while clicking the link, before anything had loaded. Strange, but I assume that there are many folks that like it.

I mean there aren't a whole lot of immaculate sounding v10s that you could accidentally mistake it as lol.
