Hitting myself in the head.
A nice snare drum.
Short breaking glass (Like the start of The Fall's cover of 'Victoria')

The dull thud of a huge encyclopedia/dictionary being closed in its midsection.
The low, gruff growl of big jungle cats.
Ricocheting bullets

Grackles (the Aphex Twin of the avian world)
The soft, omnipresent whoosh/whir of central A/C kicking on in a quiet house (very Thomas Koener)
Wood chipper (in active use only)
Dropping a big river rock into a deepish pool (pbloompb!)
There's tons more, but that's all I can think of right off.

the 'chi-cho, chi-cho' sound that tube tracks make when there's a train approaching - the only song I can think of that sounds like that is the odd sound at the beginning of the Sex Pistols "Stepping Stone".
The 'koooh' sound of a well-timed cricket stroke, particularly a drive through mid-wicket by a left-hander.
The crackle of chips cooking.
The jangle of Johnny Marr's guitar playing 1983-7.

Bacon fryingBagpipes!Those ancient wheezing automobile hornsEqually obsolete coffee percolatorsThe sounds of a symphony orchestra tuning up and whatnot, just before they begin to play. I could listen to that for an hourAnd, though I'm not a Trekkie (I swear!), I've always loved the sound effects on that show, esp. the ambient noises on the bridge and the chirp of the communicators.

Who uses/makes that kind of 'music' ? I already have all the Glenn Branca I need and would prefer something more random, or long samples.
And for me it's water, especially snow.

The quiet babbling "gloog-gloog-gloog" when you pour the first glass out of a new bottle of Irish whisky.
There was a scientific study done on this.
