Just Gears in general has the most satisfying noises in response to successful actions, imo.

Was gonna look for a different image, but Tom Hanks is pretty much spot on.

It's fucking delicious.
 
Crash Team Racing - at the Green light at the start of a race, the sound of a successful boost right off the start line.

Unreal Tournament - sniper rifle headshot by far..and the multi-kill voice-overs if they count - unstoppable! Multi kill! M-m-m-m-monster kill!
 
Huh, wow. That flute noise on item pickup is, pretty sure, the same sample used in the Jazz Jackrabbit Diamondus theme.

edit: makes sense. Both Epic Megagames.

JJ composer was influenced by that game. It also used the "Noisemaker" option. You could hear the SFX in advance by pressing different keyboard keys during in-game action
 
That wierd strings-swell that plays after you blink in Dishonored, kinda hard to explain, but in the game its like time is speeding back up to correct speed and theres that swell in the music that for some reason sounds so frickin good to me
 
Killzone chirp
Toejam and Earl extra life "yeah! Alright!"
Almost all Q3A sounds
The sound of spider mines from vultures in StarCraft burrowing.
 
Diablo 3 RoS has to me the most satisfying sounds when you kill hundred of monsters at a time and hearing a legendary drop makes it so damn satisfying...another mention hearing those goblins you want to kill them asap for all that sweet loot.

Dota 2 to me also has amazing sounds last hitting a creep and hearing that gold is very awesome just the whole astatic to the game is so damn good.

I do agree on this one played all 3 of them hearing that headshot makes me smile.
 
The OVC Terminal sound from Transistor. I've had that as my text tone since the game came out and I still haven't gotten tired of it.
 
Yeap, holy shit that thermal imploder sounds good.

I love the sound of the bubble shield/energy shield you can deploy in Battlefront too - the way laser fire gets muted and bounces around in the bubble is soooooo good.

Not a huge fan of the beta but damn, the audio and visuals are on point.
 
I cant find a vid of it, but the crunch sounds when your walking in PSO ruins, on top of bones or whatever it was.

crunch crunch crunch
