Manmade sounds that bring you joy.

The rumble of a Harley with just the right pipes.
The whistle of a turbo-diesel heavy on the throttle.
The banshee howl of an A-10 screaming over my house.
The deafening roar of the crowd at a Golden Knights game.
Last but not least, the sultry sound of my wife’s voice over the telephone. After 30 years, she’s still got it.

Manmade:
The "laughing Hyena" sound of a pre-late 80's Chrysler gear reduction starter motor.
The sound of a Ford flathead V8, although I was never a big fan of the engine.
The sound of a high compression Chevrolet 409 engine.
Some years ago, a guy that lived down the road from me had an early Honda Valkyrie 6. He had a fabricated or possibly aftermarket entire exhaust system on it. It had a one-of-a-kind exotic sound at some speed. Like a flat motor formula car sort of sound.

BULLSEYE
The rhythmic stroking of a sewing machine. A sound so positive and quiet, it's used to describe automobile engines.
A clear DX AM signal pulled in by my ccradio2e in the wee hours while laying in my bed while parked in some remote campsite.
Years and years ago there was a really enjoyable Saturday night Rock 'n' Roll oldies show on CBC radio. The host, Danny Finkleman, would often rant against modern technology.
He said the best way to experience a baseball game remotely was not to watch it on a big screen with Quadraphonic sound - rather, it was to be a kid listening to a crystal radio, with AM broadcasts from exotic southern locations like Chicago and St Louis drifting in and out while the radio waves bounced off the ionosphere all the way up to the Canadian prairies.
For me it's a baitcaster. That ZINNNNGGgggg when you shoot a big heavy worm up about 8 or 10 inches off of the shore and that splash and then the bigger splash when something bassy strikes.
Small arms fire deep in the woods. Just me popping off rounds 25 miles out in the middle of nowhere. That's my happy place.
A10's practice at a range to the mountains just above where I live. Nothing like hearing the BRRRRRRTTTT go off. Perks my ears everytime!
6-71 Detroit Diesel, 2 cylinder John Deere tractor, SBC turning 5,000 rpm's with a good set of header's, some old Mel Tillis!
Another one, the turbine of the Abrams. I had the luck of training alongside a platoon of them and some arty during a FX at 29 stumps.
Unfortunately for them, "alongside" was a bit too close to our lines to a Master Guns, and he ran after them, probably cursing at the same time from what I saw of his hand movements. I must say, you don't see anger like when a master guns or CO5 gets mad.
