Some of these sounds are more annoying than they are addictive. ha

And where the hell is the Tivo sound? That's more addicting than any of these.

Being from the US, I don't know if they're too American, but I do know that they're all much too recent.

For example:

Code: [Select]

Copy and paste that...I can't get the inline-embedding to go to the right spot (27 seconds in, or so)

Meh.  Not very "addictive" at all.  I think the average American would recognize all of them so maybe the most recognizable sounds in the US, but it can't be the most addictive in the world. 

To be a list of the most addictive , there sure aren't any sex sounds here.  I think we can all agree that those are very addictive.  ;)

Totally agree with the baby laughing sound. When I make Leon laugh I ALWAYS try to get more out of him  ha

Other sounds I love are:

* Crickets at night. I only hear them when on holiday in a warm country so it always relaxes me.
* Waves breaking. I live by the sea so it reminds me of home and again, very relaxing.
* Lying in bed listening to heavy traffic makes me think of Edinburgh.

Most branded things annoy the crap out of me though  grrr
