OT: Favorite Sport Sounds

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I like it during practice when I can hear the defense.

the sound of the horn echoing in the local gym at basketball games. 

The wails and lamentations of a rival fanbase as Michigan destroys their very souls. The silence of a hostile crowd when the team I like is on the road. And, above all, "no flags"

hockey goal horn

Vuvuzelas! 2010 World Cup!

Ba...BOOOEYY!

The thunk of a downshift on a bike with carbon wheels before a sprint. A fish blowing up on a topwater bait. Those are a few ones that I enjoy that haven't been mentioned yet.

shut on half the Spartan football team

Of the crowd when a goal is scored in hockey, especially if it's a close game. I'll never forget the rush I got when I attended my first ever playoff NHL game (Wings first round, 2008) and the crowd went nuts after a goal. Exhilarating!

Roger Federer's blistering forehand winners.

The ref's whistle after you rip rope.

What's better than roar of the crowd at Michigan Stadium. Like when the bomb was completed for the winning TD vs Wisc. Just fabulous.

Goal horn at Joe Louis Arena, and a puck ringing off the pipe. And of course an "allez" or a "come on" from Roger Federer.

in overtime, in the playoffs, is nirvana.

That sound is basketball to me

As Michigan scores its' first touchdown of the season.

I like to hear football. 

Along with the azaleas and Jim Nance's voices, it is peaceful as a massage. 

My dad's company used to have season's tickets for Red Wings games they would give to clients. But once or twice a year, they couldn't get rid of them, so I would get to go. They were center ice, but about 5 rows from the top of the arena, facing the benches, right under where Bud Lynch used to be in the booth. And right around 1:05 left to go in each period, me and my dad would shout up "How much time is there left Bud!?" and he'd respond to everyone: "Last minute of play in the period." I can still hear him saying those words; he'd say it the exact same way every time, same cadence, same tone. 

Already mentioned: - crack of the bat - bball buzzer - roar of the Michigan crowd Least favorite: - that stupid Penn State lion roar

Watched formula E racing yesterday from NYC. The sound of electric race cars is just not the same. It's like a giant slot car race.

This thing whizzing by at 175 mph.  Rattles your brain!

 

the sounds of the skates cutting into the ice and the sound of the puck wrapping around the glass conversely I used to have a lot of trouble with the basketball shoe sound.

Mitt with another Michigan Pitching Strike out

Sitting in section 17, and Michigan bombs it in the opposite endzone, I can't see it clearly, and all you hear is a ROAR coming from the student section/surrounding sections.
