Two tone singing, ie: Mongolian/Tuva overtone voice, which is the sound that transformed my life. Virtually. If anyone is into trance, as in real trance, this is the sound to invoke it.

Musically speaking? the first time I sat behind a drumkit and heard myself playing thinking...'that's me playing!' I guess 
And following from that all th e other similar first times with guitars (sonic youth etc) and synths (techno etc.) They are few and far between* now
*which I think is the main driving force behind wanting the next big synth/sampleset etc but don't tell the consumer sheeple

The sound of silence or perhaps one hand clapping would have to be hard to beat.
Now musically speaking a lush pad or even a trance supersaw has to be uplifting.
Cheers

But one hand clapping can sound the same as two hands clapping.randyandyvandaman wrote:......or perhaps one hand clapping would have to be hard to beat.

I've always loved the bass sound that plays every measure in Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue".
The LFO-ed piano sound in David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" is pretty cool too.

I just watched Transformers 2 the other night, and f**k me there was some cool sounds in that.
I was also a big fan of the engine noise from Anakin's pod racer from the phantom menace. Had this great chorused/flanged metallic slow LFO sound.

Sound Engineer / Musician / Producer......but I'm always learning.

Too bad the movie wasn't as good as the sound.
Ugh... Michael Bay movies... Would it kill you to sustain a shot for more than 2 seconds?!
The sound in the star wars movies has been a humongous inspiration for me. The pod race scene, as you mentioned, I still find thrilling almost purely from the exotic, immersive, awe-inspiring sounds. I really would love to find out how one gets a career ILM, or wherever those sounds were produced...

Jaco's bass. Also: Pat Metheny's guitar, Toots Thielemans' harmonica, and Stan Getz's saxophone.
The best sound I've ever been involved with personally was when I was a member of the Berklee College of Music trombone choir. It was a rhythm section plus 11 trombones, including Phil Wilson, the director. I normally played bass trombone, so I stood at one of the ends of a semicircle of trombonists. Occasionally, though, I'd play lead horn, so I'd get to stand in the middle of the arc. That, to me, was the best sound in the world, a sound that you feel as much as hear, since it makes your whole body vibrate.
My favorite non-musical sounds are the various types of white noise created by water: fountains, waterfalls, rain, and the ocean.
As far as "plugin" sounds go, I'm really enamored of Soniccouture's Bowed Piano. It's a sample set of a grand piano being played with a bow, and it's just a hauntingly beautiful sound. I don't know if I'll ever find a use for it in my music, but I'm certainly going to try.

You're bad... with my help, you could be the worst.

Somewhere in the distant fog of memory, I remember reading about a school that taught how to make computer generated video effects for the film industry. ILM was mentioned, as some of their graduates ended up working there.MOK19 wrote: I really would love to find out how one gets a career ILM, or wherever those sounds were produced...

The sound of a Fender Rhodes playing major 7ths very softly with lots of reverb and a vibraphone playing (again, softly) over it. The sound of the sea in the background is optional but desired if possible.
