At the present time,just as you hit 4,500 revs on my Speed triple 955,that chesty roaring bellow from the airbox,intoxicating soundtrack...

Sea waves hitting the shore and retreating back over the pebbles/rocks.
Blackbirds singing at 4am
Washing machines on the wash cycle (very hypnotic!)
Foxes barking at night.
Peacocks calling.
Rain
Just a few of my favourite sounds, not forgetting the nicest one of all at times.... Silence!

A Harris exhaust on an old air-cooled Kawasaki Z/GPZ, or on Suzuki's old air-cooled GS1000 and GSX1100.

And the Vance & Hines Supersport pipe on oil-cooled Suzuki's GSXR1100.

Far better than ANY album I own, have ever owned, or ever will own!! :-)

ps: A 3 into 1 exhaust on a Triumph T150 sounds lush too. So does a set of decent pipes on the Z1300, and the CBX1000. Then there's the whole 'Swarbricks on an LC' 2 stroke thing as well.

pps: Looks like my favourite sounds revolve around bikes. Only. I tried thinking of other things but all these amazing sounding bikes kept popping into my head. Just like Mike Hailwood's 6 cylinder Honda 250 has just done.

ppps: There's just too damned many!!

Know where you're coming from, a Moto Guzzi 500 V8 being accelerated hard out of a corner makes the hairs stand up,too.....

Almost forgot about engine noises, how could I lol? Admittedly though I am more of an 'American Muscle' car engine noise lover than a bike engine one (shock horror!) x

The Dawn Chorus in summer.

Some years ago, Bike magazine released a CD called World Of Noise.
There are 18 recordings of bikes in various scenarios, including Norton rotary, Fireblade, machines on the Barbon hill climb, Speed Triple,  ZX-12R speed run, Goodwood festival of speed...
It finishes with a Ghezzo Brian Supertwin being ridden into the garage after a long run....engine switched off...ticking and pinging as the engine cools.

Quite hypnotic for armchair listening.

On a more sane level, I do enjoy the sound of a local church bell practice floating into the garden on a summer breeze at dusk.

@ Eliza Dee
The growl of a Chevy V8 is very hard to ignore - the Shelby GT350 is just...sigh
