Sounds that you do like.

The sound of the machines at the factory. I can't understand why people wear earplugs to block out the noise.

Silence
Fountains
Gentle running water
Forest bird sounds
Fierce howling winds
The Volvo B12B, B9RT, and B13R engines on Scottish citylink buses. When I'm traveling somewhere that is served by this company, I always sit at the back in order to listen to the electronic rumbling sounds which stimulate my thought processes.
Specific electronic machine sounds
Ocean
Cat's purring
Hooting owls
Formal, pedantic, soothing, classy, and sophisticated voices.
Favourite singing voices.
Flying aircrafts/helicopters (but not if it's too overstimulating).
Zooey Deschanel and Marvin the martian's voices.
My favourite songs
Campfires

all of these, plus:

Big, pounding surf.
The weird voice-like sound of very high winds.
Distant fog horns.
The noise of jet engines from inside big jets--I find it very soothing and easy to sleep to.

My favorite sounds:

Cats purring
My favorite music playing
Wind chimes
Birds chirping
Video game noises, especially classic video games
Voices of those I am close to
Flowing river
Silence

Thunder is probably my favourite, I like the way it rumbles for a long time.
The sound of the washing machines at the laundrette. I always sit and wait while my stuff washes, it's a nice sound.
Some car engines. I'm partial to Mustangs and muscle cars but they are rare in the UK.
Brass bands so long as they are all in tune and I am not too close!
I like orchestral music from film scores and stuff, but if they are very dramatic I find it hard to sit still.
And I like the way sound is muffled underwater.

A lot of people have said 'silence', but I always hear either the high-pitched noise of the electrics or the sounds of the wind/bugs etc, so I can't imagine absolute silence. The rushing of the blood in your ears?

me,

clicking noises,
hissing (from hydraulic or pneumatic closers)
music (oldies and classic rock)

humm from electric motors such as those on older supermarket door openers
