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.

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.

I like the sounds the servitors make

Plan c charge up or Monte Carlo shooting

Edited by MaKEshiFT51: 11/21/2014 4:19:43 AMI love the Mars music. But as far as "sound effect" I REALLY like the sound that my shiny new Vex Mythoclast makes when firing. If you haven't heard it, its a fusion rifle, that's a primary weapon, and its full auto.. NO charge time. The sound is a combo of a AR firing in full auto, and the initial charging of a Fusion rifle, but with a distinct/unique tone to it, that's recognizable as a fusion charging, but "different". It's pretty awesome, especially in my Triton true 5.1 surround sound headphones. SUCH a great purchase..

I actually think the music in destiny is horrid. I don't know what it is and I don't remember actually hearing it. The halo sound track is recognized instantly but I couldn't pick out destiny 's if my life depended on it. And I really enjoy destiny but I can't get immersed in it. I don't feel the sounds.

The new sound effects for the Hives tomb ship entering the atmosphere. First time I heard it was like fingernails across a chalkboard. Scared the shit out of me too, it was right above me at the time lol

The thunderclap paired with the sound of when your shoulder charge connects with some poor sap's helmet
