When it's snowing and it's really cold and you're in the forest, so it's absolutely dead silent. But you take a step and it's that perfect snow that does the creaky crunchy snowpack sound?

Bliss

Strong candidate - it's almost worth moving outside on freezing days for the sound alone. Also just the muffled sound of surroundings on snowy days, though I'm not sure if that counts as sound as much as the absense of it.

A really well tuned engine.....

Similar - when I've been working on a project car for an extended period of time, finally have it all back together, turn the key, and it actually starts. That's just magic. I'll sit there quietly & just listen. It's like all the problems on this planet just wash away for a few minutes.

A 70's muscle car V8 rumble makes me wibble.

Any of my cats purring.

Knowing a sweet, innocent creature is safe and content and comfortable enough to express it is magical.

My cat squeaks to ask permission for jumping on my lap.
That's my favorite sound.

Happy cake day! Hope it's wholesome

Anything that solidly clicks into place. Clean, reassuring, final. Bonus point if the thing doing the clicking turns on after the click.

Ducks quacking!

A common blackbird singing! They are very melodic and each song is different. I also like european robin songs, and pidgeon coos, the latter which are really relaxing to hear among all urban noises (if you don't have a nest in the rooftop, in that case it may be more annoying, rather)

Crunchy leaves! Specifically, if one leaf is especially dried out and crumpled, I love the crunch it makes when you step on it.

Stirring a pot of macaroni and cheese. 😏

A jazz/funk horn section, instigated specifically by Earth, Wind and Fire so many years ago.
