Laughter. Dawn chorus. Waves lapping into the shore. V8 engine. My God daughter Sammie trying to say 'Soft' at age 3 (came out as Shoft - very cute). Yuki giving up trying to say Rob and settling for Oby-Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan (you really have to hear it to get it.). The purr/sigh thing Sandra does when she cuddles. Klaxons from old war movies (i really want one for a doorbell) last heard on the ship in the American Godzilla movie. The click noise of my left mouse button (very solid, satisfying, positive cli-ick). Babies gurgling. The sound of pages turning in Libraries.

As I was reading this thread, I knew exactly what I was going to put, and couldn't believe my luck that no one had thought of it,

until The Yosemite Bear wrote:A very well Performed Guitar Solo (Hey I'm a classic rock fan)

but I'd also add the intro to any fantastic sogn - Sweet Child O Mine, Poison, Paranoid, all have fantastic intros..
I love the anticipation of a great song.

There's also my cat purring.

The death-screams of my enemies.

(My enemies, of course, being whatever villains I'm fighting against while playing video games.)

the sound of falling skiers.

another baseball thing: the voice of the umpire yelling "stike" when i pitch.

I like the sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore. It's a relaxing sound that lulls you to sleep.

However, there's a lot of sounds I don't like. Too many to list, actually.

When used for atmospheric effect, a tuba. Check out the "V-ger flyover" from TMP.

A hard rainstorm beating against the roof and windows. Especially when I'm curled up with a book or at the computer, with a cup of hot chocolate next to me.

the ocean, low woodwinds and brass and strings, Music (period), the sound of a classy marching band, DCI (Zaia knows where I'm coming from there... nothing like the Blue Devils or Madison doing Malguena with a perfect to-the-fore), rainstorm, long rolling thunder that's miles away, a sweet baby's laugh, my dog when she's stretching and does that moan thing, my ferrets chirping while they play, a dribbling basketball, a soft breeze....

WOOOOOO! Gotta love DCI, baby.

Mine would have to be, in no particular order:

thunderstorms, fire crackling, my Aussie friends voices (since I don't get to see them), a well-played cello, a frappuchino bottle being opened, the soft rush of a stream, windchimes, the constant sound of the ocean, a low, growly, sexy laugh, the person I love's voice saying my name, the wind gently tossing leaves on the ground in autumn, train whistles (make me want to travel), accents (especially Russian, Australian and Irish), the Julliard string quartet, my godson's laugh, my cat sneezing, how Bryan sounds on his keyboard when he thinks no one is listening....

I miss my ferrets, Lumpy and Dorko, clever evil little creatures....never did find where they hid my spare set of keys.

Back on topic: Crackling of wood in the fireplace, the near silence of a windless winter night in the woods, the contented sigh of a lover as she drifts off into sleep, and bagpipes.

Oh, slightly off topic, but Blast! is going to be here in February. I'm hoping to talk my hubby into going.

There's nothing quite as emotionally evoking as a well-written violin piece. See "Adiago for Strings" for a good example.

I went to see it last year with my friend Joe for his birthday: it is SO AWESOME!! I'm totally in love with one of the snare drummers who--have you seen it yet, Kel? I don't want to spoil anything for you if you haven't.

Oh, and if anyone here hasn't seen Blue Man Group, I'd highly recommend going.

The voice is the best instrument...listen to the choral version of Adagio for Strings featured in Homeworld for evidence. But the violin's pretty badass, too.

My favorite sound is probably that of a reel-to-reel sound system starting up. It goes from completely alien to completely familiar in a short time span; it's awesome.
