So despite all the controversy and issues, everyone agrees that the gunplay, graphics, design, music, and sound of Destiny are top notch. I was thinking about the academy awards for the game - certainly Destiny won't win for Best Director, Actor, or Original Screenplay, but it might well sweep the technical awards.
To that end, let's do Sound Design. What is the best sound effect in Destiny?
I have many nominees, but one that I just love is the "charge down" sound for fusion rifles if you charge up but don't fire. Judders down like a massive growling engine.
What have you got?
EDIT: Great feedback! Some clear winners in here and a bunch I didn't know about. DeeJ should send this on to the Bungie sound team.

the new AR report. Fantastic. Thralls are creepy in darkness at nightime. tombships cutting through. the fallen leaders cackling is maddeningly narcissistic. well done Bungie everything else is summed up as; it's the little things.

-
Shooting Hardlight. It sounds pretty sweet.

the hive ship on rusted lands....or you said best, not worst.....
-
Hawkmoon The Last Word Gjallarhorn locking on and reloading Throwing knife Firing P&T Aksor when he emerges and laughs. Worst is by far the Vex and The Cabal

The first few seconds of a regular sparrow boosting. Sounds awesome IMO.

I know which one I hate! The fat girl booty slap suros!!!
-
The sound of Thunderlord is really steam punk
-
Nothing beats that pterodactyl noise minotaurs and praetorians makes when they are about to smack you

The screams when your wearing the pumpkin head. The first time I heard it, I checked my kids to make sure everything was ok. The females jumping. XD

Love the sound that harpies make just before they explode. I would like it as my message tone for my phone.

Edited by Chit Chat: 11/22/2014 11:05:07 AMIcebreaker is very iconic and Vex Mythoclast hands down is the most unique. I don't have one, but Hawkmoon is very beast. I kinda like Hard Lights flutter sound. And if you listen closely to a Bladedancers Arc Blade it sounds just like a light saber.
-
I love the sound of thorn, and hearing suros in the distance always makes me smile(even if its on the enemy team) lol
-
Icebreaker after the shot, sounds like it's cooling down!
