Sometimes there's a sound in a video game that I can't help but like. Some of them are the usual, like level up sounds (like in Mass Effect 1 and World Of Warcraft) and victory chimes (Mass Effect 2, various Final Fantasies).

And then there are sounds that I like that some people find scary, but I don't, like noises by the geth, the Human-Reaper, and the gas zombies from Dead Rising 2. I don't know why, but I think they just sound cool.

Victory sounds are often memorable. One particularly good one is Robotnik's anguished scream of defeat when you beat him in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

I like the *beep, pwoosh* sound of medkits in Half Life 2. It sounds so satisfying c:

When a match-three game has a chime that increases in pitch with each part of a combo, then hits a point where it doesn't go up any further and you just keep getting that one high-pitched ding because your combo keeps going...... Ahhhhh.

That one sound in Banjo Kazooie that plays when you get something right is the fucking best.

For some reason I really like the little click and sparkly-sounding-sound treasure chests make in Kingdom Hearts games.

^ Ever since watching that video I mentally say it everytime I hear the tune. :)

That's why I put it that way. (For those going "what video?", here it is.)

I'm not much of a video game person, but "OBJECTION!" for me.

Oh, and speaking of "to the tune of"... "Latia! Recieved the! _____ Badge!!!"

Not really a sound effect so to speak, but the sound when you step on the warp tiles in Link to the Past was the coolest sound I had heard when I first heard it. And then Nintendo screwed it up in the GBA version. (it almost melted my ears off!)

Also the Neo Geo CD startup tune is pretty cool. Whoooossshhhh! Glong!

I thought you meant the normal NEO-GEO startup screen:

I like that one too, but the NGCD one is my favorite.

Not a video game sound, but I really love the sound of KITT's scanner sweep.

I don't think that the actual "OBJECTION!"s in Ace Attorney qualify as a MWS for me, instead it's the silence signifying that your objection was correct.

Level-up noises are usually my favorite. The drum-beat in Fallout 3, the little "Chwing!" of FFVII, and the "Dootdoo dootdoo!" evolution chime of Pokemon are particularly noteable. ^^b
