Hey,

with the Battlefront beta ongoin I just today heard and saw the Thermal Imploder and...
wow.
It's just so satisfying to hear that thing implode and suck out the air around it:

Another contestor is the classical M1 Garand reload PLING:

The Killzone chirp no doubt.

 

[Rain City Gamer]

Killzone Chirp

 

[Moozo]

COD4 headshot ping. Especially with a suppressor

 

[5taquitos]

The thermal Imploder in SW:BF.

The Thermal Imploder is definitely one of my favorite sounds ever made in a video game now, but my only complaint is that it doesn't really mesh with the rest of the Star Wars sounds.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

The little tinge that a red box gave off in PSO.

Brilliant.

 

[MayMay]

Yeap, holy shit that thermal imploder sounds good.

 

[Pejo]

Cabal headshots in destiny. POP followed by a fizz.

 

[Tambini]

Killzone 2 chirp

 

[SandMan2233]

For a recent one, the headshot noise in MGSV. Oddly satisfying and lets you know you nailed the shot.

 

[deoee]

Is this the Killzone sound you are talking about:

?

 

[kodecraft]

Mario's mushroom power-up.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

"Stand by for Titanfall"

 

[ebullientprism]

Splodin heads/gibs in Gears.

Halo Sniper Rifle sound.

Halo announcer.

The sound of the Tesla/Tau gun charging in Half Life.

Dark Souls Parry whoooooosh.

Everything in Star Wars Battlefront. Dice are god tier.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Killzone 2 chirp

Nothing beats the satisfaction.

 

[tariniel]

The sound of a titan dropping in Titanfall.

Backstab sound from Dark Souls.

The sound of slamming an enemy to the ground in MGSV. Also Tranq headshot sound.

 

[SA007]

The best visual effect was in CRYSIS when it was launched for PC. IIRC that inside level of alien ship looked awesome. almost like a movie.

 

[etta]

Battlefront imploder is great. Black Ops 3 hit markers feel so satisfying. Halo 5 beta hitmarkers were awesome as well.

 

[EPaul]

Killzone 2 Chirp

 

[DrFunk]

Street Fighter 2 character select sound

 

[Roshin]

Good old Wilhelm scream.

 

[AdanVC]

Splatoon splash sounds when you jump from very high and sumerge into the ink as a squid. Also when you shoot at an inkling and the ink splots sound more intense until they explode.

 

[kris.]

The static crackle from a headshot in MGSV makes me so happy.

 

[megashock5]

WipEout "quake"

 

[GrayFoxBH]

Killzone 2 Chirp.

 

[MORTALIS]

Was playing Halo 2 Anniversary yesterday and the updated ghost start up and wind down sounds are AMAZING. I was hopping on and off just to hear that bad assness! I couldn't find a sample or youtube clip.

 

[orioto]

FF menu sounds

 

[Last Prime]

Finding a secret in the Legend of Zelda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d3qCPcMgH4

 

[Dark_castle]

I love the sound of footstep. I guess you can say it's my fetish.

FF menu sounds

Oh yeah, and this. FFVIII had some good ones, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XEhCEnHO84

 

[SoldnerKei]

Smash Bros 64 Home Run Bat hit sound.

Zelda's puzzle solved fanfare.

That sound heartbeat like when you do a backstab in Dark Souls

 

[JayEH]

I really like the idroid sound effects from mgsv.

https://youtu.be/8e88I1CFKu0?t=8m51s

 

[Anung]

The select noise from Resi 2

Bliss.

 

[Gren]

Zanretsuken

And it has to have that classic AOF bowling-pin-clatter sound effect on the last hit.

 

[desmax]

The hitmarker sound in Call of Duty

 

[boondock18]

Doom 2 shotgun is pretty awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4VHUXV77hA

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

The thermal Imploder in SW:BF.

http://youtu.be/Nay8pw0WFJA

Yep, coolest effect in gaming I may have ever seen, visual and audio.

Killzone 2 chirp

So happy Halo 5 added something similar.

Edit: Oh and getting orange/red drops in Too Human.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

The sound of the doors opening and closing in Doom

 

[SinShep]

MGS V Tranquilizer headshots.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Killin' fools in Gears. The chainsaw, the shotguns, the headshots. Yum.

*EDIT* Honourable mention: http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/a/a5/Culling_Blade.mp3

Actually, there are a whole bunch of satisfying sounds in DOTA 2.

 

[Dark_castle]

Diablo 3's legendary drop sound effect is also pretty satisfying, especially back in the days where they were quite rare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7mlYj3ytSI

 

[TheAdmiester]

Either the M1 Garand plink from the OP, or the CoD headshot plink.

 

[CompC]

The sound it makes when the platform turns around in Bossa Nova from Rhythm Heaven: Fever for Wii is just so satisfying to me.

http://youtu.be/QMdZguzq9Vg

 

[Tiops]

Always liked the SMAAAASH!! sound in Earthbound. Satisfying when it happened in tough fights.

Parry sound in Souls series is also great.

 

[kinggroin]

8 Man for Neo Geo. His audible shouts have me in hysterics. Sounds like total nonsense.

 

[Azure J]

Dante's Style Cancels in Devil May Cry 3/Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Hit Confirm/Full charged Charger Snipe/Blaster OHKO SFX in Splatoon
"Slash" Hit Confirm SFX in the Megaman Zero series
Super Smash Bros. Home Run Bat/Luigi upB/Jigglypuff Rest, Marth tipper (all games)
StarFox 64 Hyper Lasers
That "Glistening Shine" SFX you get when holding a long drift on Rainbow Road 8, 64 or SNES in Mario Kart 8

Honestly, there's a lot more that aren't coming to mind. Audio design stuff like this is a big deal for me.

 

[Grumpy-Gamer]

The punching and kicking sounds on double dragon
The "get ready" voice-over on space harrier
That credit sound when you used to put a 10p in to an arcade machine

not that I'm nostalgic or anything...
