I love everything about pool . From the smell of a cigar smoke filled room, to the large chested, bouncy blonde asking for my I.D. as she hands me a tray of centennials .:)

Let's break down sounds for a second . These are all sounds that we take for granted, but without them, it would change the whole pool experience .
 
IMO, the worst sound in a pool hall is a cue hitting a tile floor.

The sound i love the most in a pool room: "Back it and jack it?!"
 
Worst sound: The sound I make verbally when I rattle a ball in the pocket.

I like the sound of a nice draw shot and the sound of someone saying "nice shot."
 
Best sound -

The crinkling of bills as you're stuffing them in your wallet -

Worst sound -

When you hear your opponent say "Thank you" as you hand him your last dollar.
 
Best sound: Roar of a Derby City action room crowd when your horse takes it down.

Worst sound: Roar of a Derby City action room crowd when your horse loses.

:D
 
Best Sound #1 - The staccato ring of a solid break
Best Sound #2 - The gentle clack of balls falling into drop pockets
Best Sound #3 - The soft click as the cue ball coaxes an object ball into motion

Worst Sound #1 - Sound of a dropped cue stick on wood/tile floor
Worst Sound #2 - Sound of any television/poker machine/video games
Worst Sound #3 - Sound of the house man ordering everybody out for closing
 
Best sound: when said by a drop dead gorgous 20 something, "Hi Steve do you want to go for a drink after work?" :) :) :D Haven't heard that in a awhile.:(

Worst sound #1: The sound of a CB being slammed so hard onto a table that it bounces up into the light.
Worst sound #2: The sound of the same light/florescent tube crashing onto the table, when you are the one that has to clean up the mess. :mad: :mad:

Maybe the above are not the best and worst but they are the first to come to mind.

Worst sound - Fabio's head bashing into the corner of a Diamond table
Best sound - Metallica on the sound system while I am playing.

LOL Blackjack, you beat me to it.
 
Best sound: Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" as your "customer" is breaking down. The actual sound is when you scream out, "Anybody got a thicker rubber band? I can't get all of this to fold over."

Worst Sound: You just lost your third set and your opponent says, "You needed the six, anyway."
 
Best:
The "thunk" when the OB hits the back of the pocket at speed.
The "clack" of a dead-straight stop-shot with no english. Somehow when the balls are dead straight, and the CB is not spinning on any axis when it hits the OB, the tone of the collision is different. I love that sound because it means I hit the shot with a pure stroke.
An exclamation of "nuh-uh" or "no way" or just the stunned silence of my opponent when I pull off a nearly impossible shot (tough bank, kick, masse, threading the needle into a tiny position zone, making an improbable breakout, etc.).

best sound... the barely audible sound of your opponent sighing in resignation as you run another rack and he realizes he's out of his league. You can just feel the spirit coming out of them.

best sound - the sound of a huge SOLID break where the cue ball jumps up and slams back down in the centre of the table.

worst sound - cues falling over and metallica on the soundsystem. :D
 
Best Sound.. "You Got Lucky.....You Lucky *****"
Worst Sound.."Do You Think I Need To Lose Some Weight?"
 
=)

Best pocketing a ball on the break.
Worst YOu backer saying Wrong Hole... That works for the ladies also.. :eek:
 
Last night there was a girl in the room that had the annoying laugh like Fran Dresser (sp?) from that Nanny Show. Ever 2 seconds it was going off. Hard to concentrate.
 
Worst sound not mentioned...
Some banger slapping the full ball tray upside down on the best 9 foot table.

Worst thing seen...
same banger and 5 of his buddies playing some weird version of cut-throat 8-ball on previous mentioned table
 
Or, The Seat Of Your Pants Splitting

"The Worst Sound ?"


Well, besides "Last Call", it's the sound of your Significant Other's footsteps approaching at 6:00 a.m.
