Cowboy boots on wooden floor:

I own a pair myself. Makes me want to bust into an old bar myself. I started liking it from watching 3:10 to Yuma

Anything gun related is cool

I love it in any WW movie (Saving PR, etc)

Of course any video game soundfx of gun fires (real life sfx is far more high pitched and not as cool sounding)

A good sound is when rounds hit a solid tree trunk and making that 'Thunk!' sound

I also love the sound of empty shot gun shell hitting the floor sound (the blurp of the hollow plastic case)

Sound of a muscle car revving:

Whenever I slip melted chocolate between a girls toes and lick it out.
Next time, I'll record them.

The moans of a baby seal as I lick the melted unsalted butter off of its stomach.

I like the sounds of distant trains going by at night or really early in the morning. I have ever since I was little, don't really remember why I liked it at first, but now it makes me feel nostalgic, I suppose.

The sound of rain

Heels walking on a hard surface

Christ, completely agreed on all three!!!!!

Heels (although looking for the slower, sexier pace)

I love the sound of burning branches/needles off of the Northern White Cedar (Thuja Occidentalis.) When I was a kid, this is what we would burn for most of the campfires/bonfires in NE Wisconsin.

An electric motor, preferably a fan, so long as it's running properly - no imbalances, no odd sounds, just simple white noise.

I'm told that this goes back a long way - as a baby, the quickest way to make me go to sleep would be to turn on an air conditioner, or put me in the car and start the engine.

Also related: The sounds of the random, yet consistent, turbulence from a very light wind, perhaps as blown from a box fan on its lowest setting, or from a centrifugal blower.

Oooh ... Also, I love the sound of thunder. I also like the sound of waves crashing into shore. Oooh ... and I love the sound of 2 stroke snowmobiles ..... though I associate a smell with them more than the sound...

Those noises and the silenced gun sound effects always make me laugh. Who came up with that idea? Let's make guns sound like keyboards. There's an episode (maybe more than one?) of Future Weapons where they pasted in the ZOOT ZOOT lasery sound effect thing every time they fire a silenced gun.

Sawtooth (analogue synth)
400Hz transformer whine
Offbeat cycloconverter "teaming" almost sounds like it's alive. Of course with 40,000kW of power who's to argue? :D
Gentle seas
Floating ice tapping on a steel hull. (as long as it's not from a broken ice berg hehe!)
The clicking of a small hermetic compressor klixxon OL protector. The real hollow sound is very unique yet a telltale sound of a problem...

And (of course!) the vibraslap! :biggrin:
