What are your five favourite sounds? If you only like one or two sounds, you can still participate, by the way.
Mine would be:
(1) My son laughing (especially if it’s me that’s making him chuckle)
(2) My parents laughing (as above)
(3) The roar that greets a Fulham goal — to fully appreciate this, it’s best to be sat in with the opposition fans.
(4) A wine bottle being uncorked.
(5) Being out on an early-morning bike ride and hearing the birds singing.
Honourable mentions to waves lapping against the shore, leather on willow, the sound of a heavy, long-awaited poo breaching the toilet water, and the wroof-wroof sound that’s generated when you walk at pace in mustard cords.
Fulham FC: It's the taking part that counts

- MIchael Holding's voice while bunking off work on a baking summer afternoon - Two bricks clanking together (f-- knows why, but love this) - Whatever new squeak or gurgle my nine month old daughter has learned today - Rain tw-tting onto a tent roof while you're wrapped up warm inside - The alarm clock on a Saturday morning, when you realise you can turn the b*stard off and go back to sleep

The sound of a Fart It doesn't matter whether it is a high pitched squeaker, a low rumbler, wet, dry, loud or sneaky I will never grow out of thinking farts are funny

Some great choices, there. I would add the thunderous sound of pis s crashing against a stainless steel trough when you've been holding it in for ages and finally get to a pub khazi.
Not wishing to bring the collective vibe down too far, so without referencing genuinely horrible sounds like screaming, family members sobbing, air raid sirens and a pub full of idiots singing “Care free”, what’s your least favourite sound?
Mine would have to be the opening bars of “Dancing in the moonlight” by Top fu cking loader.
I was asked to look after the music at a mate’s family do in Walthamstow in the 90’s, and after turning-up with a shedload of vinyl and CD’s, and a bit of something for everyone, was bullied into playing “Dancing in the fuc king moonlight”, all fu cking night by some friend of the family who would come storming into the front room shouting, “Oi, cun t; put the fu cking moon song on”, whenever I tried to play something else. He even went to the effort of going home to get it when I told him I didn’t have it. I passed out in the early hours and when I came too, the first thing I heard was the start of that terrible fu cking song.
It still makes me anxious when I hear that song start up. “Chain reaction” makes my heart sink too.

The whole making your kids laugh thing that you initially mentioned actually morphs from the first list to the second one when they get older.
List 1 - The unrivaled, joyful, inner warmth of hearing delighted shrieks of approval at just how funny daddy is.
List 2- The heartless cackle of two teenagers losing their sh1t because one of them has surreptitiously filmed you doing or saying something perfectly reasonable and Snapchatted it to the other, all whilst you've all been sitting in the same room.
A very separate list 2 entry is the sound of Mrs 1BH's key in the front door, a little earlier than she said it would be, when you haven't quite finished your Internet Research.

One for Disco seeing as its mere mention made me inhale my coffee
'Holy Sardine!'
'How come you never name anything after me, Batman? You've got the Batmobile, the Bat Cave and even the Batcopter'. 'Well, you've got the Reliant, Robin'.

Anyone on X Factor trying to sing in the style of Christina Aguilera (sp?), that's been done to death the last two decades.
Anyone on X Factor
The door at work closing behind me as I go in on the morning
*snap* as I over tighten a bolt on my motorbike meaning I have to drill it out (thankfully not done it in a long time but still always wary it'll happen. Really need to invest in a small torque wrench...
Any cntish song sung by the home fans in SW6 (Not the Bishops Park part)

A couple to go with the obvious ones that have been mentioned like nippers laughing etc...
The sound your reel makes when you've got a nice fish on..
The sound of your train coming to take you home, especially on a Friday. You don't realise how good The London Underground really is until you emigrate...
Being in the wrong place at the right time, unintentionally I should add, when QPR and the scums lads found each other and whoever the QPR lad was shouting 'looking for us, girls?' and the scum bricking it.
My Kawasaki GPz 1000Rx on the centre stand revving through all six gears cleanly, it's enough to make a grown man cry. lol

My car starting. Might not sound like much but I genuinely don't have the time, patience or money for it to not start so when it does, I'm chuffed. The ATM machine counting out my money after making my withdrawal request. The "ping" of the, it's ok to unfasten your seat belt sign. The first rizzla paper being taken out of the packet. Unfortunately not heard it for a while.
Sizzling food. That popping sound a nice warm log fire makes. Any sound of an alcoholic beverage being opened. My next door neighbours lawnmower. The very quiet sound of my kids asleep.
Worst. Squeaky shopping trolley Post coming through the letterbox Phone ringing Alarm clock Dentist drill
Occasional providers of half decent House music.

About the sound of the reel .It's even sweeter when its your sons reel and he's fighting a big stingray for all he's worth

Your Underground reference suggests a new thread, Pommy.
On a trip back to London, for the first time in 25 years, I was standing on the platform enjoying, like you, the sound echoing out of the tunnel when....WHOOOOSSSHHHH...I smelt the rush of dank tunnel air. It wasn't that it was particularly pleasant or otherwise, it was just the sudden reminder of something that was once very familiar.

The sense of smell can be incredibly evocative.

Some lovely ones there, I know what you mean about the bricks. I bet plenty of batsmen used to wish that Michael Holding bunked off work more often....
- Distant sheep bleating on a hillside at dusk - "You'll never feel more like singing the blues..." - The scrunch of fresh snow - Burnt toast being scraped. A weird childhood nostalgia thing there and a tribute to my mum's efforts to feed my dad, four kids, a cat and a dog simultaneously. I don't think she ever actually got any breakfast herself. - Buzzards calling. Curlews too, but you don't get them round here.
I swear to God I once heard a pan-pipe on a deserted hilltop somewhere in Slovakia. That was just a bit too strange for comfort.

A Horses breathing as it gallops past, then the clip clop of its hooves as it walks on concrete. A Cat when you wake it from a deep sleep. Winston Churchill, war time speeches were amazing. The theme to 'I Dream Of Jeanie'. A Helicopter, always makes me think of Vietnam.
