Favorite Sound to Hear in the Wild?
For me, it is the call of the Loon.
Have done quite a few (11?) Multi-day (one 14 days) Ocean Kayak/camping trips up and down the Maine Coast. The 14 day one, was Island to Island Off Shore on the Maine Island Trail. (I was the Navigator.)
That always was the one that did it for me.
You?
I used to be a Big Backcountry Outdoor Junkie. Managed a large Outdoor Adventure Equipment Store for apprx 26 years. We averaged about 50+ overnighters per year. Quite a few of them in the worst weather imaginable. (All over the Country.)

The silent sound of the first snowfall.
Wolf call - coyote call - elk call (scared the bejesus out of me the first time)
Ducks and loons in still water ponds at false dawn on a crisp cold morning - the wind whispering through the cat tails...
The beat of wings on a flushing ptarmigan or pheasant.
The sound of steel shot rustling tree leaves - the shook of the ejecting spent hull when the gun breaks...
A susseration of wind whipped drifting snow banks kissed by the breeze.
The thump of your good dogs tail on the ground when you wake in the morning.
Bacon sizzling on cast iron.
A summers rain fall on a hot tub roof - the air replete with ozone - the peal of thunder in the distance rumbling along carrying a flash of lightning.
A flat oval rocked skipped upon still waters...
Canon fuse when lit a sputter...
The ring of a cohern mortar...
The ping of a grand en bloc clip as it leaves the rifle...
The crack of rifle fire from the pits on range day...
An American flag snapping in the breeze - the beat of metal fasteners pinging the flag pole.
An E type jag with Weber down drafts in perfect tune - the exhaust blat at redline on a downshift...
A Willy's transfer case in 4WD low on a steep incline - flat head hurricane four moving you on...
The sound of the 4 engines singing and 4 props gripping air as the Orion sub hunters head for the coast...
Any Winchester lever action cycling with purpose...
The rack of a pump action 1897 riot gun - brass hulls only...
Moonlight sonata
Amazing grace
My grandfather's voice in my head and heart when I sit as his grave site
I could go on but it's gotten a bit dusty in here.

The sound of hickory cuttings falling from the tree I?m sitting under. 0 -
A ford 9N tractor mowing hay...
The Swiss watch poignant click click click of a colt single action army revolver at half cock cylinder turning to accept new shells...
My husquvarna chainsaw roaring to life on the third pull after a long winter.
The range commands at nationals - camp Perry...
Wood turning on a lathe - being shaped by a blade...
A trains steam whistle in the distance...

Paddling a Sea Kayak in the fog, offshore up in Maine, and hearing the explosive blow of a Whale - ranks pretty high also. 0 -
Pileated Woodpecker 0 -
Antler striking antler in a struggle for supremacy
The crackle of a campfire burning low - log remnants breaking turning to hot glowing coal - the sizzle and pop of pine cones thrown onto the pile
The syncopated rhythm of steel drawn across a whet stone...
The series of cracks followed by the cushioned impact of leafed branches when a cut tree falls
The sound of out going artillery over a contested position
The shuttle launch countdown approaching zero - the engines and external boosters lit off and fighting gravities pull...

The soft low hooting of a mature Bigfoot. 0 -
Your chute unfurling snapping out and filling with air wind whistle through the risers
Chicago typewriter - 50 round drum being depleted by a true artiste stroking out two and three round bursts

When I was a kid it was the sound I would hear while sitting in the woods squirrel hunting very early in the morning. The sound of limbs shaking and the dew falling off the tree limbs like rain when the squirrels started coming out of their nest at about daybreak. 0
