As I was listening to the roar-bark of the maned wolf, it go me thinking, what are zoochatters favorite animal sounds? I will post my top 3 (not in any order)
1. Wapiti
2. Maned wolf
3. Wolf/coyote

What are yours?

Edit:Thought I might put up videos to my favorite sounds

Bird calls. Any bird calls, I love 'em all. Even seagulls.

Baby elephant trumpets. <3

Tiger roars and chuffs.

Cheetahs chirping.
 
Tough question! I've thought of a dozen answers already. Here are my current favourites.
For excitement: the bugling of whooper swans arriving after migration.
For variation, tunefulness and sheer power: the song of the nightingale.
For personal reasons: the call of the black howler, when my late brother saw and heard one at Bristol he called it a 'sore throat monkey'.

african wild dogs when in a frenzy before feeding, a spotted hyena whooping or the call of gibbons especially siamangs
 
The call of the loon is the best sound ever. Also like humpback whale song and the sound of swan wings while in flight.
 
1. Tiger(wild) calling at night in jungle.

2. Stone Curlew.

3. Fallow Deer rutting call- particularly under big trees where it echoes.

Videos for my choices, the first two were made at the locations which I particularly associate with the species.
Whoopers at Martin Mere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RK755Jkv1U&hd=1
Nightingale at Fingringhoe Wick (a beautiful little film - Recommended) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxqtcO1QrH0
Black howlers (at Port Lympne rather than Bristol I'm afraid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pia8ku7jUNg&list=PLJpttO2vjjGSwKl1u6n18QMHVuI-muX16&index=42&hd=1

1) Elk bugle
2) Coyote howl
3) Bison bellow
4) Howler monkey howl
5) Tiger chuff
6) Red-tailed hawk screech
7) Great horned owl hoot

These are in no particular order.
 
My top animal sound would be the indri.
After that comes the humpback whale and perhaps the midshipman fish.
I am very impressed by the way lyrebirds can imitate a variety of sounds.
 
Just ones off the top of my head...

Mammals: gibbons of all kinds, various lemurs (ring-tailed, ruffed, indri), howler monkeys, big cats roaring, colobus monkey (teritorial call), spotted hyena, sea lions, gorilla (chestbeat), binturong, wolves howling

Birds (many for their uniqueness): musician wren, New Zealand bellbird, emu, ptarmigan, all caciques and oropendolas, horned screamer, capuchinbird, screaming piha, lyrebird, hermit thrush, crowned pigeon, common loon

Other: bubbling Kassina frog, American alligator (roar), galapagos tortoise

Lar gibbons’ singing. Hearing that in the wild is the happiest I’ve ever been.

… And given my name, I have to mention indris’ calling.

Those lar gibbon songs sounded beautiful, especially with all of the birds, insects and other rainforest animals singing back-up, haha. Very relaxing.

And I don't know, I find the indri's song awesome, but eerie and slightly unsettling to be perfectly honest. :D
