The human senses are incredibly powerful, provoking memories, nostalgia and a whole mixture of feelings.
One Reddit user posed a very interesting question on a thread today: What’s the most satisfying noise?
The answers are all delightful, and if you’ll excuse me I will be over here popping my bubble wrap.

This is the sound of a majestic night out, of celebration. Let’s be honest it’s the sound of getting absolutely BINNED.

The most peaceful sound ever. Nothing like a bitta nature all the same.

The sense of smugness and joy this brings is unparallelled.
