So...
When you think you've got a half decent fart but you pull the trigger and all hell breaks loose, like a trombone in a aircraft hanger. Either that or a BRM V16 or Audi 5cyl.
mrs cheeze,
tinkling a spoon in a cup where she's just poured a cuppa!
My old Alfa Romeo V6 at 4,500rpm.
My missus laughing. Stepson 1 laughing - he doesn't do it enough.
Rolls-Royce Merlin at full throttle, or a Vulcan on re-heat. Sadly, the 'Vulcan Howl' ™ © ® is unlikely to be heard again, because they won't allow re-heat to be used for displays. 😥
this 😉 😀
The alarm clock when I've inadvertently left it set on a day off; the joy associated with turning it off and going back to sleep is unrivalled. Farts are good too though.
+1 for Merlins.
IIRC Vulcans don't have a reheat...they flew with Bristol Olympus engines that only had reheat when fitted to Concorde. I've heard a Vulcan Howl at an air show in my youth, it damn near shook me out of my shoes. I'd like to add to that a 'Lightning Scream' having heard 8x Avons during a flyby.

That could only come from you LOL
Mazda rotary engine at full chat, drag racing.
Audi R8, as above.
A woman farting loudly. 😆
A Chinook flying past low, although thats more of a feeling than a sound! 😯
Mr Ekrem shouting XL mixed Kebab,salad chili sauce!
the intro to this:
I like the sound of ducks and geese landing on water - whoooooosh.
the sound of a bottle top coming off a beer in the sunshine surrounded by your mates having ridden a day of amazing trails....
My old Alfa Romeo V6 at 4,500rpm.
I'll raise you my RX7 at 8,500rpm 😀
the sound of a bottle top coming off a beer in the sunshine surrounded by your mates having ridden a day of amazing trails....
Second that.
Chinook gets my vote, or the sound of cats purring.
Scissors cutting thick paper.....love it!
DrP
The various sounds from skateboarding...clack of a decent ollie, tail slide in a pool etc.
honda rc30 at almost any revs, evn blipping the throttle makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
also, some female vocalists can achieve the same effect, seems to happen when they reach a certain pitch*.
*in absolutely no way was that intended to be a smutty comment*
Tinkle of alpine cow bells combined with the gentle whir of a chairlift.
I've noticed lately in the bike videos how much I really enjoy the sound of the bikes rattling over rough terrain.
Best sound in the world had to be the noise made when Will Buckley scored the winning goal in injury time at the 1st game at the Amex.
Uncontrollable giggling from a 2 year old when being tickled. Merlins/rx7/olympus on reheat all good calls though.
Mtb wise, how about the snick of a well set up shimano gear set going up the block under load when climbing?
When you're coxing an eight, and it's going well and you've got them in time, there's a sound...a "clunk" at the end of the stroke as the crew taps down, then there's the sound of the seats rolling back up the slides, nice and controlled in the recovery phase...unpunctuated by the slightly annoying sound of a blade hitting the water.
When all this happens as one...and it's a quiet misty morning on the river, it's a grand sound, maybe not the best in the world, but it's certainly a beautiful one.
Brutal
Babies first cry in the delivery suite when they've bundled it away
Jesus, both times I heard that - the relief that everything's gone well, the emotion involved. I reckon that takes some topping.
after that:
Chainsaw - the ringing noise from the clutch when its on idle
Tree felling - the sound as it hits the ground, and the echo back from the other side of the clearfell.
Guns - the sound of a pull through coming through the barrel, sort of a "thwonk", and when deer stalking - the thud of a good, clean chest shot
planes - another for that vulcan howl - however the psssssst sound you get just *before* a tornado whacks over you at 200 feet is the business.
Sorry to take this thread to the gutter, but I like the sound of a lady really enjoying herself, or the tie fighters from star wars, or a football stadium in full voice.
The sound of my old 205 Mi16 bouncing off the limiter as you set off out of a layby on a quiet country road, preferably the A4069 in the black mountains.
Sometimes, just peace and quiet, the sound of nothing at all.
Gotta be the Merlin. Working on an airfield I'm lucky enough to get the odd air display from a spitfire (albeit with a griffin engine) about once a year. Great stuff.
Last lap bell.
Or Ducati Desmosedici.

But usually drowned out by s**t music.

Taking on a whole football stadium ? What a harlot, and as for a tie fighter... 😯
a football stadium in full voice
this.
i like the deep guttural gollllllllllllllllllllllllll that you get at spanish grounds when they score, that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
A 1967 3 cylinder MV Agusta - especially when Ago is twisting the throttle
The sound of waves on the beach
And the constantly changing bird calls in the early morning dawn chorus
Merlin - check
Vulcan - check
Kids laughing uncontrollably - check
Waves on a beach - check
and I offer:
Curlews on the moors
A VW flat four
My old RD 350 LC
Just the sound of tyres on a trail - no rattles, clanks and clunking of gears whilst on the SS.
Nothing at all apart from the agonised screaming from my own tortured psyche.

I am always so impressed with the Welsh national anthem at the Millenium stadium. Its such a powerful, passsionate anthem and when the roof is closed the sound is amplified. Truely breathtaking for me and I'm not Welsh.
Thunder. From the sky-ripping bit at the start to the last rumbles bouncing off the mountains. Epic.
A grid of 917's belting up the pit straight between the grandstands at Le Mans, and a handfull of GT40's, Lola T70's and daytona coupes at full chat through the forest a couple of yards from the catch fence just after the end of mulsanne.
Whistle of a camping kettle on a big old camping gaz stove. And the hiss of a tilley lamp.
Paul Kossoff, Randy Rhoads, Gary Moore, Alex Lifeson, Angus Young, Peter Green, Tommi Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Doug Aldrich, My daughter's laughter and the words 'day off'
The singing at the Millennium, I agree. Breathtaking.
Merlin, Vulcan and Lightning? Oh yes....! (Always remember that they had to stop the Vulcan party trick at Finningley of a full throttle climb from low level, standing on the tail and roaring up.... It was ripping the runway apart!)
And, the simple sounds of nature. A trickling stream in the woods, birdsong in the trees, etc. Love it.
The wails of despair from my crushed enemies women, and the sound of rain when I'm in bed...
Rain on a caravan roof. Went on holiday to Norfolk when I was about 10, snuggled into my sleeping bag, only sound was this gentle drumming, dad made me toast and tea, I was just so content...
Opening bars of a song (any song) that you so want a band to play when your at a gig..
+1 princejohn though 😳

Ooooh, can I add another then? The sound of a storm lashing at a tent in the mountains. I remember camping out in the wilds somewhere North West of BYC some years back as a storm hit. Battened down the hatches (Terra Nova Quasar) and just listened. That smug feeling of being safe, warm and dry with the ever so slight sense of "what if...." that comes from knowing how little is between you and the elements.
Waves on the beach is probably best but honourable mentions for kettle going on and Triumph Trident.
are you guys for real? so much testosterone in the room..
Rockabilly radio. Nuff said.
And my tuppence worth:
The pop of a mushroom stalk being snapped off.
🙂
Honda 6 cylinder 250 sounds awesome
A Gardner 6LW on tick over
The B&M howl.
A telecaster played through a deluxe reverb
nature... waves, thunder, rain, silence, babies laughing, trees falling, leaves rustling, puppies playing, waterfalls, whales singing in the ocean, birdsong....
then the sound of my tyres crashing though it all 😈
The wails of despair from my crushed enemies women
"Conan! What is best in life?" "To crush your enemies -- See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"
Zulu 11 has to win the prize for apparently being the most ridiculously cliched macho man in the world. He loves guns, chainsaws and fighter planes, but hey he has a sensitive side too. 😆
😆
A road or touring bike on tarmac.
The silence you get when bunnyhopping with a tail wind.
Andy Gill making his guitar scream in pain.
My family laughing 🙂
My Triumph Daytona at 9000 via a Scorpion can 🙂 Sadly I sold her yesterday 🙁 I WILL get another one day........

The sound of the school bell at the end of the day!!
Standing on Pennines moors with the wind rattling around you, its what brought me to Rossendale
Oyster Catchers at night
Loud freehubs.
The sound of waves on the beach
yes,but more so the muffled boom of big waves breaking which you can hear before you get to the beach/ over the dunes for a surf- the anticipation mixed with trepidation (how big are they??!)is ace...
Loud freehubs.
I just don't get this...I love to 'run silent' on a bike.
My own heartbeat. It's just kind of reassuring to hear it...
good callOyster Catchers at night
The sound of the garden gate closing,home.
My son playing guitar .
The music that stops me in my tracks ,and time travels me back.
At night,camping near signpost corner ( IOM ),and hearing all the wannabees giving it a go .

Ahh, the Vulcan standing on its tail party piece; wonderful to behold.
Curlew's, definitely, rain on the roof on a stormy night, and ear splitting thunder a fraction of a second after the lightning.
Had that happen so close one night as I was watching out of my bedroom window that the air crackled around me like touching an old CRT tv tube, and my hair stood on end! Actually struck a house around 100 yds away 😯 Scary close.
Randy Crawford singing "A Rainy Night in Georgia"
Cicadas on a warm night somewhere sunny
The whooshing/whirring noise a really good set of road bike wheels make when at speed
A V8 engine
The sound of complete silence- its so rare
Crickets.
No way. not motherfrigging sodding noisy bastard crickets. Especially not right outside your window at 3am.
However, the sound of a sweetly-struck cricket ball, especially when you're the one holding the bat - that's a nice noise...
Not many crickets in the UK because it's too bloody cold!!!
