Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 For me it was a bang when I expected a click. Has happened to me 3 times, but at least it was someone elses guns. Working at an Armored Truck Company these things happened far too often.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Late afternoon on Friday, March 31, 1972. About five miles north of San Juan Bautista headed south to San Luis Obispo to visit Half-Breed Pete. Cruisin' along at about seventy in my '69 Bug when there came from the stern a very, very loug *BANG* of a swallowed valve, followed by a screech from one tire as the engine locked up, followed by the air horns on the semi- that barely missed me as the car whipped past in front of his bumper, followed by an equally loud "Oh BLEEEP!" from the operator of the Volkswagen... all rolled up into one. Well. That's one of the worst sounds. Most assuredly, there were quite a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Not the worst, but among the most annoying: people crinkling candy wrappers and rustling kernels at the bottom of a popcorn bucket at the movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The sound of the rockets on the side of the helicopter going off and I had no ear protection. The scream of those rockets is still in my head. The next most horrible sound is the main gun on an M60 going off when you are standing outside of it with no ear protection. Really hurts.

Barry Sloe Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 My young daughter is backing my '65 Impala out of the garage. Starts to turn the front wheels before the front end cleared the door. The sound of sheet metal and the garage door frame is one I won't forget.

J-BAR #18287 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The sound of car windows breaking and the roof of my car scraping on the pavement as the car rolled over after getting t-boned by a stolen car that ran a stop sign. I escaped injury, my car was totaled, and they never caught the guy that hit me. But the sound kept waking me up in the middle of the night for a while.
