Fairly simple, straight forward thread. whats your favorite sound to hear and why? it can be something you encounter daily, or maybe something you only hear every once in while.

Any sound qualifies. Avoid words and phrases if possible.

Mine would have to be the dungeon "horn" in World of Warcraft because it means I am way to addicted to world of warcraft that hearing that sound actually brings me happiness.

What can I say.

I like dungeons...

Rain. Rain is just so relaxing.
I knew there was a second one I wanted to include. and this would be it. I could probably listen to rain or the waves of the ocean all day long.

Ambience. I wish i could be more specific. One example i can give you is from the Tower of Latria in Demon's Souls, on the first area of the level. You're in a prison environment. Rows upon rows of cells, with prisoners moaning in agony and watchmen endlessly patrolling the hallways. Beyond the moans of the damned, though, all you have to accompany you are the eerie wails of the wind, the shimmering of the atmosphere. The entire environment feels hostile. It's a dark, foreboding place. It sends shivers up my spine, and i love it.

You can have similar experiences with dank, dingy claustrophobic games like Metro 2033. That complete sound of nothing but ambience is wonderful. It can completely set the mood and affect your emotional response, even without visual aid.

The sound of a plane landing or taking off nearby.

The roar of the engines and the distant echoing "pop" as it lands followed by complete quiet is oddly soothing to me.

The sound of Raziel summoning the Soul Reaver. I fell in love with it at first... hear? Anyhow, It can be heard around 3:18 in this video.

You know that noise in Metal Gear Solid when the guards see you?
That one.

I love the rush of emotion it gives me. Yes, I'm panicking like crazy, but that rush is awesome.
It means I did something wrong, but that I know what I did wrong and can fix it.

When my hidden blade assassinates the target I was requested to kill in a stealthy way.

Yes, I'm talking about Mass Effect.

whenever I play Gears of War with my buddies and I hear "BOOM", nothing gets me more frenzied or excited, except for the "guard has seen you" noise in Metal Gear Solid series. Actually, I also like the noise the communicator makes when it rings...
