    Stolen unashamedly from Twitter and @CannonMunkii

    My favourite 4 are in no particular order -

    1. The sound of the skull fort vault opening
    2. That strange caterwauling sound you hear in the wilds sometimes
    3. The fuse on a gunpowder barrel
    4. Full Billow!

    For me, it has to be...

    1. The "barp" sound at the end of the sound for handing in a Chest of a Thousand Grogs.
    2. The sounds you hear in the fog.
    3. The new Sea Post sound.
    4. The music you hear when the captain appears at a skull fort (yeah I know this is music, not a sound, so sue me!)

    1. The sound in the fog.
    2. The ghastly screams from another crew as you light the stronghold keg on their lower deck.
    3. The skellies captain wave sound.
    4. The music in the beginning of the developer update vid.

    The melody of turning in a chest! When we only had the gold hoarder voyages to complete, it was such a relief to get chests to an outpost and turned in. So many hours spent trying to hear that melody as often as possible so I could buy another item for my pirate before the test period ended.

    1. The sound that comes from the Chest of a Thousand Grogs when you jump up and down.
      Sounds almost like a bunch of people in a tavern laughing at someone making a fool of themselves.
    2. The sound of a beacon being lit
    3. The eerie sound of a Mermaid Statue nearby
    4. The sound of a shovel hitting wood... clunk.

      a chest.

    I like all the sounds that relates to navigations: the noise of the helm turning, the wood of your ship, the sails, the waves...and, by the way, if you hear them with headphones, they become...somehow "solid" (i don't know how to better explain it). All the sounds in SoT deserves an Oscar prize for the way they help to create such a marvellous illusion.

    @silvercob

    Have to agree with this, the sounds of sailing are just amazing. Also love sailing through storms. The storm sounds along with the creaking of the ship and strained sound the wheel makes when turning really brings it all together.

    EDIT: Also wanted to add the sound of the rowboats. Maybe it's just cause I've spent so much time in them, but when I get into a good rowing groove, the noise of the oars in the water is rather comforting to me.

    @katttruewalker cannon fire and the whoosh of the cannon ball and the 3 am kraken

    Ships battling in the distance, love the sounds of distant cannon fire. And of course the waves breaking along the shore.

    Ahhhahahha a very interesting topic! Let's see...

    1. The sound a chest makes when you strike it with your shovel (especially when digging on "Cannon Cove...I really, really, really dislike looking for chests on Cannon Cove)

    2. Skull fort vault door opening (in true pirate fashion I'm stealing that one from you Katt)

    3. The incredibly faint sound a meg makes RIGHT before it bursts through the water (I think I'm the only one that hears it on my crew so I get to impress everyone when I "randomly predict" a meg is about to burst through the surface of the sea)

    4. The little random creaks our ships make when we're punching through waves.

    There are tons of awesome sounds in Sea of Thieves. The attention to detail is pretty amazing.

    @erinom3 's list is just about perfect for me too:

    • The sound that comes from the Chest of a Thousand Grogs when you jump up and down.
    • The sound of a beacon being lit
    • The eerie sound of a Mermaid Statue nearby
    • The sound of a shovel hitting wood... clunk.

    My first thought was the sound of a shovel on wood. Have you also noticed, if you look down when you do that, tiny splinters of wood fly off?

    All my favorites have been covered here. The sound design is so fantastic in this game, it's really hard to pick only a few favorites. The same goes for the wonderful music by Mr. Beanland. Excellent work all around.

    The pause between booms of cannon fire from two ships battling at a distance #realistic #speedofsound
    The ambience of the fog #creepy
    The warning sound when skeleton ships are ready to emerge from the water #ohs****
    The sound of a skeleton ship emerging! #flyingdutchman
    The creaking of the ship when slow sailing #anxiety
    The flurring sound when a cannon ball nearly misses your face #kissedbyacannonball

    The satisfying 'thud' as you drop a skull in the sand.
    The eerie quiet in the middle of the fog.
    The rumble just before Meg appears.
    The clunk as your cannonball strikes and dispatches a gold skeleton.

    I marvel at the attention to detail, not only with sound but with the game as well.
    Nothing is unfinished, everything is complete down to the smallest detail, even on the back of things you wouldn't normally look at.
    A true masterpiece :D

    The sound that's made when you pick up a gold or silver chalice. Absolutely hate the sound of the pigs. Anyone notice the same pig sounds in RDR2?

    1. Selling a Chest of 1000 Grogs
    2. Hearing multiple volcanoes at once
    3. near miss for a cannonball
    4. eye of reach/cannon reload
    5. kraken roar (when it first appears) fills my heart with dread every time
