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 twinkling of a chest when you are close to it ( need non xboxone headset to hear it for me)
-
Almost all of the exotic gunfire sounds. The first thing I do when I get one is fire off a few rounds to see what it sounds like.
-
The righteous heaven rending eardrum destruction that is the last 20 rounds fired from the Thunderlord with lightning rounds equipped. Sounds like Thor repeatedly slamming his Asgardian balls into your forehead at 100mph.
-
Thunderlord no doubt. I love hearing mine light someone up. And if I hear it in the crucible and my team isn't using it, I get to steppin. That thing shreds.
-
I personally like the new effect for when give ship warp in/out.

-
haha well the worst is when a hive ship appears. It sounds like nails on a chalk board and train trying to stop...
-
When you click on a templar and he says "my life for Aiur"
-
Even though I don't have one, I love the way the Vex Mythoclast sounds. The Sparrows sound awesome as well. Very fitting.
-
I like the deep bass thrum of the Hobgoblin's grenade. When I'm out of range that is.
-
Sepiks Prime when he esplodeds And the oracles song
-
pew pew pew
-
-
The oracle song in VoG
-
The thrall's screaming.
-
My favorite sound effect is when cursed thralls explode.
-
the sound of the hobgoblin grenades with astro A40's, oh my god.
-
Cluster bombs on a rocket launcher exploding
-
The sound of the hobgoblins grenades exploding. Have you heard those shts? They're badass as hell. Sounds like dub step, the transformers, and the vex had sex.
-
Cabal skulls popping. Yup.
-
All sound Sepiks Prime makes. I have a pretty decent home theater, and also decent turtle beach headphones, and for some reason that things sounds give me the happy chills. Its a machine, but it just sounds so... organically mechanical and forlorn at times, I love it.
-
I love the sound of firing the Patience and Time
-

-
The sound of ships warping into the moon. Oh wait... I lied -blam!- that nails on a chalkboard sound
-
Icebreaker. Definitely that. I get jealous just hearing it being fired.
-
Harpy sound! Its so cute.
