such as a crack of a bat hitting a baseball or when a golf club strikes a golf ball off of a tee off? Maybe it's when a hockey stick strikes a puck during a slap shot or when a basketball hits all net and nothing else?
As a former baseball player nothing sweeter than the sweet spot of the bat getting ahold of the ball. Especially when you're using wood.
I used to hate the sound of the bat splitting in half when I hit the ball. Half the bat would go flying toward the dugout and they'd duck. The batter on deck would hit the dirt. The crowd would laugh that I was holding the bat wrong. What the hell? You're not supposed to face the seal on the bat toward the pitcher.

The (wood) bat hitting the ball- hard. As the saying goes, 'it's a round ball, a round bat and the object is to hit it squarely.'
PS: You and I attended this game....back in the day! [video=youtube;RkCE6JHUb00]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkCE6JHUb00[/video]
1979. Throwing it nonstop from deep outfield to home was only a few years old. They didn't do that in the 60s.
The intake of breath 20,000 people do when their team's best player hits a game winning shot, right before the cheers begin.
I still have that 75th All Star game program and ticket stub. Remember Kingman knocking baseballs off the back wall of the Kingdome during batting practice?
This. Though beyond that, Gary Glitter's "Hey" when the Blazers are rollin'. I also have flashbacks to The Schonz and his "lickety brindle up the middle" and all sorts of other Schonz moments from my childhood.
