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.
-
Harpy sound! Its so cute.
-
Best sound is when the gorgon harpies are squealing, gives me an "oh shit" kind of feeling.
-
Hard Light, and the dying screams of the Hive that come after.
-
I don't know about which effect is my favorite, but I love it when I'm in the Crucible and the announcer says, "Send them home crying!" :D
-
Sticky bomb! When it's about to explode
-
I used to love the way atheons epilogue sounded but they changed the way it sounds now and i dont like it
-
The sounds of guardians gurgling up blood when I throw my knife at them in crucible and get a headshot. It's gasmicccc... Ughhhh..........
-
The Hawkmoon firing or Wizards shrieking...

-
Minotaur teleporting
-
The squishy explosion from popping Vex in the sweet spot with a Scout. Actually, I am not sure if I just hear that in my head and think it when doing it...
-
The mellow robo-farts of the servitors
-
Septik Prime cow noises, It seriously reminded my MGS lol
-
I always have a tissue box beside me when i shoot PnT
-
A acolytes head exploding mixed in with a shot of the last word.
-
Hawkmoon.
-
The noise the Ice Breaker makes when you head shot someone is sweet.
-
The new hive ship warp sound
-
I really enjoy the machine gun sounds. The sparrows and timbreaker sound amazing also.
-
When you fire the thorn
-
The queefing sound females make when they fall from vast distances and live
-
Sepiks prime's whale sounds.
-
Oracle sounds
-
My favorite sound has to be that little "blink" when Truth smacks a rocket into a sniper's face (when the score comes up). :P
-
I don't have it but the Vex Mythoclast, and if you have a good headset you can hear the engine idle on the sparrow when you're stopped
-
Personally I thought the Earth theme was really good when you're doing a boss or tougher encounter like the last array. The vex theme is also pretty cool.
