I adore the sounds of a great guitar, violins, cellos, flutes. And I thrive on the rhythms of a great drum beat.

However if suddenly in some alternate universe I were given the mandatory choice of only being able to listen to 30 seconds of just one sound, for the rest of my life, and nothing else; 30 seconds of any sound of my choosing...and nothing else, it would not be 30 seconds of any of those instruments.

I would easily choose the sound of a Waterfall, or that of a Roaring Wind.
Mother nature makes some of the best music to my ears.
