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).
DISCUSS
1) My son's giggle
2) My wife right at that certain moment when...
3) Sports man. Anything associated with sports.
The howl of a wolf in wilderness. Awesome. Elk bugling is a close second.
Eeessh. We're still two weeks away from Memorial Day and we're talking about favorite sounds? Gonna be a long summer.

Or the sound of skates on a pond.
Hear hear. Everybody at the gym makes fun of how high I arc my shots, but I feel like I get a higher proportion of perfect, utterly satisfying swishes. I can't leave the court until I hit one, it's bad juju otherwise.
Fireworks
Some would say I like the sound of my own voice

Wow there has been an abundance of enormously stupid topics this week
I'll keep this PG-13
1. The sound of waves and seagulls
2. The loon on a quiet night near water.
3. A bird that is incredibly rare except in western PA that I cannot recall the name of. It makes the most beautiful sound and it reminds me of my grandparents and their home.
4. The sound Michigan statium made on the most impressive of Biakabatuka's runs against OSU.

Yo-Yo Ma stepped in front of my car one time when he was in-residence at Michigan (not at a crosswalk - he just was not paying attention). Central Campus - not too far from Rackham. I hit my brakes and came to an abrupt stop. Yo-Yo Ma looked up, waved, and continued to cross the street.
You're welcome.

1. The crowd noise after the catch during the UTL game with N.D.
2. The sound of the drag going off on my tuna reel.
I hate that song with a passion, but I still get goosebumps and yes, a little teary eyed whenever I hear the crowd chanting Seven Nation Army after the catch. That with the aerial shot of the Big House as they were chanting was simply beautiful.
Thought this was gonna be a DiscussMan thread.
the squeals of mating season
The sound of one hand clapping.

The horn at JLA.
Any sound a lightsaber makes. Whether it's being activated, deactivated, swung, or clashing with another blade. The Ghostbuster's protons packs discharging are a close second.
first instant of the Game of Thrones title sequence music.
about you know . . .
Basketball shoes on hardwood.
and there's a check inside from a client.
When a fish is big enough to strip line out.
The Michigan Marching Band
outside my bedroom window. I sleep like a rock when we are at our place in Canada on the shores of Lake Huron.
I'm a big fan of the Puget.
...that happens to the osu, sparty or nd crowd collectively, as the air is ripped from their lungs by a last-second Michigan victory.

2) "BAAAND, take the field!"
