Heavy rain on a roof.
A chirping/trilling cat.
My girlfriends voice. I could listen to her talk for the rest of my life.
The sound of an English country garden on a Sunday in summer.
This is a composite of several sounds all of which must be quiet or distant enough to not be a distraction but which in conjunction are glorious:
- childrens’ laughter just far away enough to not be bothersome
- bees buzzing from flower to flower
- a propeller-driven light aircraft from a nearby aerodrome (ideally this would be a vintage plane with a Merlin engine, gently warbling in the distance)
- the sound of leather on willow, and the occasional call and muted cheer, from a cricket match on the village green
- the gentle burble of a stream
- church bells, far enough away that their individual peels almost blend into each other
- the clink of ice as someone pours a perfect gin and tonic.
I know it’s way too broad and probably very generic of an answer, but music. Cannot live without it since I am pretty much constantly listening to it if I’m not watching a video.
Same. Genre doesn’t matter, just match the mood. I’ve built a library of 250k songs, basically my own Spotify of everything you can think of. I put the Spotify app and plexamp on every device I own, even my work laptop, and have speakers and automation in every room to play Coffee Beats playlists during the day if I don’t have anything specific I want to hear at that moment.
Basketball net’s swoosh on a perfect shot going through it.
Is that boss music?
Avalanche goal horn
“Womp womp”
The sound of katydids on a summer night in new england. I haven’t heard it like this anywhere else: https://freesound.org/people/Femur52/sounds/644301/
Star Wars (EP.2): Seismic Bomb
Iron Man repulsor firing
Edit: And the obvious common stuff like rain and so on.
“Mission complete” sound on Space Cadet Pinball
right now, i can’t think of anything other than the BFB hit in Splitgate.
The funny grumble my dog makes when he wants me to pet him, and the majestic song of his people my pug can make. Video: https://i.imgur.com/Xh01sK9.mp4
The click-click-click of a perfectly healthy bicycle hub when slowing down without pedaling. It’s the metaphor sound I use to the feeling of a team working well together: not going to be silent, but you can soundly sleep on it.
