The sounds that define our generation

the bell of a bumbai muttai man

the nokia default ring tone

the nokia sms tone (bip beeeep, bip beeep)

shah rukh kahn's teary voice

'as long as you love me' by the backsteet boys

the sound of a death rattle like three wheel horn

the series of beeps before an SLBC news bulletin

various snippets of sinhalese slang; ela kiri, sirra, fit the bird etc

baila music. yeah!

metallica (perhaps only among a limited few of us)

a politician screaming on stage

the walls ice cream song!

The sound a bomb makes when exploding a few hundred miles away?

Haha nice collection!
A few additions: the annoyingly squealy voice of Anarkali on TV, the sound of boys whistling on the streets, sounds of traffic congestion: prolonged horning and road rage..
