A short list of your favorite sounds...

That had to be a blast


Oh, the sound of an F18 1000 feet above me (333 metres for my canadian friends), during Fleet Week

 

About 190 mph

 

campfire
rain/thunder
almost any sounds from nature.
that subtle moan of a woman right after you slip it in...
the crack of a baseball on a wooden baseball bat

 

MIG 29's doing tail slides at the Abbostford Airshow

 

Back in HS I sang in the quasi pro choir, when 21 voices are in absolutely perfect pitch, something rises up, something greater than the some of the parts, amazing.
And OZ, you'll appreciate this one, the sound of a perfectly tuned and intonated guitar power chord thru a rodded Marshall stack, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up and makes yer balls tingle!

 

The sound of "silence"

 

kids laughter, nothing is more genuine or innocent

rolls royce merlin starting up or in a very low high-speed pass

line running off a spool against the drag

"ping" of an M1 garand clip ejecting

ocean at night

 

The sound of my cat sleeping on my chest
I love to fall asleep to thunder and lightning
The sound of heavy snowflakes falling from the sky
The crack and echo from my Ruger 10/22. It's not loud like my pistols in the indoor range, but there's this crack sound that reverbs off the outside burms I love to hear
The sigh and very quiet little moans my wife makes when we're getting freaky!

 

nature in general
beach surf fishing
my truck when i drive
a round motor airplane flying over
Apache rotor blades fly over. ( i never hear them before i see them. ie you dead lol)
i women in the moment of bliss.
kase's red bull resies

 

the sound of silence is nice also

 

or a MLB player hitting one out w/ a Louisville Slugger (you just know it's out-of-there, especially if you're at the park)

could be the thread win

you Simon or Garfunkle?

no doubt

another good one...also a "spooling" reel

I love it! kept wife awake at night...last home had metal roofing, the new one has shingles.


All good ones...keep 'em coming...

 

The deep, throaty rumble of my Bronco's 400M V8 firing up on a cold morning. Something about cold pipes that makes it louder I think. Not obnoxious, just deep and throaty like I like it to be.
The 390 in my 67 F250 doing the same thing.
Sound of a Harley Davidson with Vance and Hines big radius pipes. Mine with stock pipes is ok, but my Dad's has the VaH pipes and sounds just right. Not obnoxious, but smooth and flowing with a nice note.
And of course, the sound my dogs make when I pull into the driveway returning for a weekend from college. They yowl, yip and wiggle with anticipation at the site of my Tacoma.

 

the older Harley's had an awesome "potato-potato"...

tuned right w/ the right pipes...even newer ones (up to about 2005) can sound awesome. the newest bikes have too much EPA tuning and exhaust sensors that ruined the classic sound. HD has tried to simulate it with pipe tuning...but it just sounds fake to me.

btw, lets see pics of those old trucks!

 

A 5.0 ford with Magnaflows

A woman's climax

636 Ninja at 14000 rpm's

Bass drum kick from a Korn song

The Nebraska Huskers tunnel-walk song, Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project

 

Car related: any late model Mustang 4.6 or 5.0 exhaust. Other fav exhaust notes: Any VW/Audi V6, Nissan VQ series engines, Subaru boxer engine, BMW 5.0L V10. Supercharger whine or turbo spool. Cummins diesel. Every sound a TT Supra makes.

Other: 2 stroke outboard boat motor. A fish pulling drag out on a reel. Sea gulls in the morning at the beach. Loud fan or window AC while sleeping.

 

my 11 month old son's giggle
ratcheting wrench sound
torque wrench click
crackling of a good fire
waves against the boat when anchored in the lake
heavy rain on any surface

 

-Fireworks
-my little boys laugh

 

67 F250, an old HighBoy truck. Going to be used for plowing snow mainly and other work related tasks around the place

Bronco and truck parked together.

The 390, we just got it running mid summer, had to make it look perty! Too bad its gonna get all muddy this winter, but hey, its a work truck.

And lastly, my 03 Softail Standard. Never heard an old Harley run before I don't think but now I really want to! I sure love my bike though, it has been my dream to ride one since I was a little kid after my dad took me for my first ride on his old 94 when I was about 3 years old. Not to mention, I couldn't pass up the deal on it, and it is not perfect by any means, nor would I want it to be, but it is uniquely mine!

thanks for the pics

that '67 Ford is awesome!!!

and I've had my share of Harleys (Fat Boy's...Road Kings...), and your '03 is still a good bike. the newest ones (like my '07 RK or my '11 Fat Boy) are junk IMO. gov regs have ruined them. they run too lean and are too effing hot, not to mention the sound just is not the same (even w/ a nice set of pipes)

btw...check out an old Panhead or Nuckle...the sound is distinctive. classic potato-potato...potato-potato...

 

Sweet deal, my Grandpa used to tell me about his 48 Panhead, those are such cool bikes. A friend of mine has a 79 Shovelhead that he hopes to have running this spring. Does not need much other than a few cosmetic things, he got into a bad wreck with it about 12 years ago, very thankful he is still with us after that incident. But needless to say, it will be great to see an old legend brought back to life!
