OT: What is Your Favorite Sound
Straight from my homeboy James Lipton comes a question that I've tried to answer for weeks: what is your favorite sound? Is it a beer can cracking open? The ping of a perfectly-hit drive? The crowd after a buzzer-beater? The opening notes of Hail to the Victors? Your ex saying "I'm not pregnant?"
My favorite sound in the whole world has to be a putt hitting the bottom of a cup. It sort of represents one of 18 culminations of a job well done (or not, depending).

Football season cannot come soon enough......
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
Disgusting!!!
bodies slapping.
uglies
tummysticks
Hey man. Domestic abuse isn't something to joke about.
Right now it would be the sound of this thread being removed from the board.
The propeller blades of a hovering MV-22 Osprey. Just something soothing about the low pitch and bass and oh my goodness still 112 days until the Utah game.
The Sopwith Camel.
CURSE YOU RED BARON ! ! !
Bagpipes
1. my kids laughter
2. thunderstorms.

Man the sound of a putt going in is amazing.
That first, giant fart I rip after I wake up every day.
Is there a single person in this entire world who if alone with no worries of being caught, can not possibly find amusement in their gas?!?
I hope I never meet them if there are.
I even love the sound of that word.
Flatulence!
which one of you is my 9 year old son and why are you playing on Mgoblog and not paying attention to the teacher??!?
This is my Maltipoo's daily sign that I am up. She hangs out at the foot of my bed, but once I let it rip, she prances up me and furiously licks my face. I get a kick out of it every time.
Supercharged V8
B-17 flying low overhead. Nothing beats 4 radial engines.
Old V-10 F1 engines.
Supercars in a tunnel.
These are a few if my favorite things...

tl; dr Da Vinvici designed an instrument that was finally constructed centuries later and the soundsssss
dope
This one's called "yaybahar. I tried to make it start around the 4:27 mark.
"Yaybahar is an electric-free, totally acoustic instrument designed by Gorkem Sen. The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound by the membranes which echo back and forth on the coiled springs. This results in an unique listening experience with an hypnotic surround sound.
What you hear in this performance is captured in realtime without any additional effects and with no post audio processing."
It reminds me of the games Myst and Riven, which blew my mind back in the day.

I like the sound of an Oreo being twisted apart. It's like the breeze from a butterfly's wing causing a flutter of an eyelash. It's sublime.
Hydrox's sound like shit, though. Too much sugar content makes a grating noise that is like knitting needles in your ear. I'd listen to nails on a chalkboard 20 times before listening to a Hydrox being twisted apart once.
(Looking forward to future threads on favorite odors, tastes, colors, etc. Maybe we can follow that up with threads on least favorite sounds, odors, tastes, colors, etc. And then it will be ... mid-May already.)
The OT Season is sometimes not easy either, but for an entirely different set of reasons than the non-OT Season, or so I have found in my experience as a mod here. Actually, I might wait for "Favorite Cheers Character" and "Favorite Iteration Of The NBC Baseball Music", perhaps even "Favorite Game On The Price Is Right"....I have some pointed opinions about these.
I can't believe you're still able to milk material out of the Oreo vs. Hydrox thread from yesterday. Outstanding.
Once I excuse my jurors my day is downhill.
Since I don't have children and can't attest to their sweet laughter, I'm gonna go with the squishy sound an excited lady's nether regions make upon insertion.

sorry but this comment should be deleted. Come on, what is this? There are plenty of sites you can go to for a discussion of graphic sexual activities. M Go Blog just should not be one of them.
I'm sorry you're so offended
would you be sorry?
I can't wait for the threads about what is your favorite color and favorite smell. Followed up by the do you prefer blondes, brunettes, or redheads.
What's your favorite legume?
+1 that is funny. Since you are asking, it is Chickpeas/Garbanzos.
but I gotta go with peanuts for top legume.
Ok you asked for it.....

First morning of winter smell

so I can get my party on (or just go to sleep).
"Laaadies and gentlemen, preeeesenting the two-hundred thirty-five member Michigan Marching Band. Baaaaand take the field!"
That isn't a sound. It's a phrase. Stop cheating.
1. My 3 kids laughing uncontrollably (luckily happens on a daily basis)
2. A White Throated Sparrow (also a daily occurrence now but also evokes a ton of good memories)
3. A tie between a) bagpipes & b) "The Lamentation of the Women"
I probably shouldn't say anymore.
Like others have said, the sound of myown child laughing is far and away the best sound in the world. There's nothing fake or obnoxious about her laugh, it's simply the sound of a toddler who thinks they just saw/heard/did the funniest thing in the world. No sound can can ever compare.
As an honorable mention, I'll also thrown the sound of Alka-Seltzer. I remember taking my dad's as a kid just so I could play with them. So worth it: Alka-Seltzer sounds
Pinch each of your cheeks with your index finger and thumb, then pull repeatedly.
Keith Jackson "whoa nelly" was probably my favorite sound at one time..
I'm looking forward to having a defensive player who can take over a play and kill it by himself again.
I'm sure that's going to happen again soon.
