This seems like it'd have been done before, but the search turned up nothing.

Anywho.

What is the most pleasing thing you have ever heard, in a game? It can be any noise, from any game, so long as it gave you that fuzzy, happy feeling. For me it is the sound striders, from Half Life 2, make when they died. The muffled "vhoooooooo, broo-broo-broo-broo" followed by a crash, always made me smile.

And while you're at it, why not give us your "Oh, Shit!" noise too? Your moment of alarm, your climax of surprise, and the noise that induces it. Mine is the noise those damned monkeys make in System Shock 2 they just.... they just freak me right the hell out.

I use to spend hours mowing down people with the tank on the runway in GoldenEye. Such a satisfying squish sound that never got old.

BOOOMMM HEADSHOT is my favorite thing to here in any fps.

And the worst would probably be the sound of grenades in CoD4.

I think that the sound female spartans make when they die in Halo 3's multiplayer sounds hilarious.

Most satisfying? The AK sound from CS or CS:S. It is one of the only games I have played in which the guns sound like guns, and not like someone tapping a tin can (I'm looking at you, Doom 3/Quake 4).

I find that sort of "whoosh" sound of Sprint Mode being activated in Half-Life 2 very satisfying.

Also, I really like the sound of snow underfoot. I think The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess nailed it best.

As far as worst goes, I have to go with the sound of bones snapping when you fall from too high in Team Fortress 2. Man, with sounds that graphic, you can really feel the pain of your Achilles tendon ripping in half.

SPLAT, or CRUNCH, Manhunt series. :)

The grunts in halo, when you stick them.
Their screams of terror followed by an explosion is oh so pleasing

Favorite would be a knife going into the body of an enemy (any FPS) and the worst would be the sound of the knife going into me.

The "bwoop woop woop" noise of a completed row in Tetris.

I love the sound of enemy units exploding under the hail of your cannons in Advance Wars games. And my "oh shit" noise, as it was so eloquently put, is the sound that guards make when they notice you in the MGS series. x3

So satisfying to hear after a brutal match

Ohshit sound for me?
Redeads. Their scream. Their paralysing scream.

Actually one i just used on another thread. The sound of clearing a level on Intelligent Qube.

PEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFECT!!!!

The Final Fantasy battle victory fanfare.
Haven't played an FF game since FF8 but still, it's an awesome noise.

Enthusiastically seconded. That's a great sound.

Now that you mention IQ, the sound of bagging a cube is pretty refreshing too.

I love the scream Covenant (Elite) players make when they're splattered by a vehicle in multiplayer.

And that level-up ping in Diablo 2. The sound itself is not outstanding, but it's so satisfying to hear.

Exploding heads in Resident Evil 4 no mater how many times I hear that it never gets old....Never! Asspecaly when you Suplex a mumbling cultist or round house kick a psychotic villager, Leon S Kenndy's kicks almost rivals Chuck Norris's :D

The screams in Team Fortress 2 when you knife someone as a spy.

Wort wort? *boom*

never gets old, ever

From level 90 to 99, it was the only sound I ever wanted to hear. There was a point where I lived for that sound. Good old Ladders...

Fraser.J.A:

It's so distinct yet so simple. No fanfare, no flash of light, no YOU LEVELED UP! Just that DING and you suddenly have five stat points, a skill point and full health and mana. Tis brilliant, that sound

in counter strick when the girl mones GOD LIKE!!!!!!

The sound a double-barrel shotgun makes when you reload it. Just hearing the *BOOM-BOOM* *chick* *toc-toc* *CHICK* in the middle of an intense fight is what I live for.

Most satisfying: Hearing an Imperial guard say "All hail the Champion of Cyrodiil!" I wish beat cops on my local city streets would hail me like that.

Most "Oh, Shit!": When the "something just spotted you" music starts playing in Oblivion and I have no idea just what exactly found me. I'm searching around frantically, my pulse quickens, and if I hear one of the Beneath the Bloodworks vampires screech "I NEED MORE BLOOD!" I'm like "oh, SHIT!"

The sound of Poisen Headcrabs in Halflife 2 makes me go ohshit.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Most oh shit moment for me is in Fatal Frame 2, when you here all the weird groanings and incoherent mumblings of a ghost but you can't find it anywhere and you start pissing yourself in fear, since that fucker could come from anywhere.

tehuberer:
In Counter Strike when the girl moans "GOD LIKE!!!"(edited for spelling and grammar)

I am pretty sure that's Unreal Tournament you're talking about, and yeah that is also satisfying. And mildly erotic.

Best: The reload noise for the crossbow in Half Life 2, cause you know someone else is about to get pinned to a wall, and there's nothing better than someone hanging off a wall from a bolt to the head.
Worst: The sound of an orb being released from an AR2 rifle in Half Life 2 Deathmatch, cause a bouncing ball of pure own is about to find your face.

I know its usually not a souind you want to hear, but the sound the exclamation mark makes in the Metal Gear Series...
Also I love the sound Ryu Hayabusa's Katana makes in Ninja Gaiden 2 as it decapitates a ninja.

I still think the best sound ever is Pac-Man's "swallowing" sound, nothing like swallowing an entire produce section and the manager's keychain to liven up your day.

Scary as hell sound: Metroids. SCREE~

"Rnn nn nnn RRRRRRRRRHHH *SQOOSHCK* *spt*" "Man, that was nasty!"

"Killing spree!"

The jingle when you dominate someone.

Ohshit noises:
Fast zombies in HL2, especially in Ravenholm. Helm? Whatever.

The crunch noise in when you jump too high in TF2 makes me cringe every time, too.

The sound of.... silence after killing forty-odd monolith soldiers near the brain scorcher.

The "!" sound can make me most sastisfyed, and yet scare me at the same time

Sackwak:
The "!" sound can make me most sastisfyed, and yet scare me at the same time

I agree, most of the time it gladdens me; gives me a chance to go Rambo with a Patriot gun.
