"Oh, I love that sound. [It's] the sound of us getting out of here in one piece."

—Darman, Hard Contact

The complete polar opposite of the Most Annoying Sound, this is for a sound/visual cue/etc - usually in a video game (but not always), that may or may not come up often, but is so satisfying to hear that sometimes you just want to reset the game/rewind the video and hear it again. Whereas Most Annoying Sound is universally caused by the sound itself, the Most Wonderful Sound can either be caused by the sound itself (perhaps it's a particularly catchy jingle, is an iconic sound, or is a quote that's just that Badass), or because hearing means that something really good just happened or is about to happen.

The most wonderful part of these wonderful sounds, of course, is figuring out how to spell them.

Compare Awesome Music. Contrast Hell Is That Noise.

Examples of Most Wonderful Sound (Sugar Wiki) include:

New Media

The Nostalgia Critic has quite a few in his show:
- Dolphin - Punch!
- Chucka Noriiiiiiiiiiis
- Taste the Rainbow, Motherf***er! (which triples as a Crowning Moment of Awesome and a Crowning Moment of Funny)
- Wha-?
- Boomer - Will Live! - Aaaaahaaaah! just to name a few.
- Beeg Lipped Alligator Moment! is both his and The Nostalgia Chick's.
This.

Theme Parks

For fans of Walt Disney World:
- "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor manténganse alejado de las puertas."
- Basically everything the Ghost Host says in the Haunted Mansion.
- The sound of the Main Street Electrical Parade as it marches down Main Street.
- The music of Wishes, but especially the beginning and the Go the Distance segment.

Software

Adobe After Effects plays a very easily distinguished and very pleasing "Twingg!" sound when it reaches the end of a Render Queue, meaning the videos are finished being edited and are ready for viewing.
The startup sound of Windows 3.1. Holy nostalgia.
The Mac startup noise.
PlayStation startup screens:
The "Boooommm!" noise at the end of the Dolby Digital Countdown advertisement.

Other Media

Clack-clockle... NATURAL 20!
In Girl Genius, the twisty musical notes emitted by Agatha when she's in full-on Spark mode. You can almost hear them.
Any Vanity Plate that is not Nightmare Fuel tends to induce nostalgia and ends up as this.
- Especially this and this, both from Disney.
