I love the sound of old harddrives. At least the ones that have some low grumbling and clicking, not the ones with a high-pitched whine due to failing bearings.
The sound of old tapedecks and reel-to-reels is also pretty nice.
And the sound a Zippo makes when you open and close it.
+1 for clicky HDDs! I grew up with an iMac G3 and the hard drive in that thing was so resonant. I imagined it was the sounds of little men in the computer scrambling to do work whenever I opened a program or file.
Glorious clicking
