Any shot that makes a real bell ring is music to my ears. Also the gobble holes on Flipper makes a unique sound as it circles around the metal ring before it drops into oblivion.
Quoted from Hougie:I realize that there are several best or most satisfying shot threads, but which shot sounds the best? Make the best, thump, clunk, etc...
Some of my favorites:
TAF - Thing scoop
TAF - Vault
LOTR - Orthanc
WH20 - No Way Out
Start Mission/Jackpot shot on STTNG. Music to my ears when you hit it with that mix of clunk/thump. 
Quoted from MMP:Love the sound of a coffin lock on BSD.
I've said something similar elsewhere. Feels awesome as well with the FF sub system.
AC/DC Bell
Sparky
And another one that may be a bit biased is the claw save on Freddy when it's hit squarely enough to launch the ball into the glass :p
on Black Hole when you lock a ball on the lower playfield, it makes a very satisfying "floomp" noise.
Going in the crate on Scared Stiff has a pretty satisfying sound
Quoted from Taxman:Trap Door on ToM. You hear the squeak and hurry to thunk the ball, then hear it slam shut. It like a three part shot with a prize at the end.
yes i love that squeak sound!
Locking the ball on Road Show has a terrific sound.
Theatre of Magic tiger captive ball. It make a nice hard 'tick', and also the machine helps with a very nice 'cunk' effect.
I'm a fan of the final shot to start multi-ball on Big Guns. You get a nice kachunk landing it in the middle kickout hole, then a fusillade of solenoids firing and the sweet song of three balls in a row flying down the catapult return rails to the flippers.
Also seconding the Crate on Scared Stiff, the sound that thing makes is super satisfying.
Quoted from Smurrill1:I like the scoop off of the left loop on DM a lot
I prefer the thunk when you slam home a computer shot from the UL flipper.
BDK - hitting the joker target just sounds / feels right on that game.
Xmen - Xavier shot and scoop. Klink! Followed by a super VUK to the ramp. Love it.
Mustang: left ramp is bitchin! + the diverter for LE/prem models.

Quoted from LesManley:Start Mission/Jackpot shot on STTNG. Music to my ears when you hit it with that mix of clunk/thump.
Oh yeah, it satisfies like a Snicker's bar. It's even better when you nail it 3x in a row from the left turret before multiball. That clunk, along with the game's sound effects make you feel like a badass.

*Kaboom kaboom kaboom*
Worf: super jackpot!
Picard: all hands prepare for multiball!
I enjoy the clang of the tspp garage door.
The jackpot sound during tspp itchy and scratchy multi ball is great (not a clunk though)
The center shot into the scoop on stng is pretty nice too
In EBD, the bank shot sound is very cool, but the chugging sound of a 5X bonus collect for a saucer shot is the best!
Any air ball that tinks the glass is awesome. Scares the crap outta ya nearly everytime. Thats the wild nature of pinball at its best
Rollergames has a satsifying shot at 11'o'clock - don't remember what it's called. I think there's a magnet under it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the shot in Swords of Fury that makes it say LIONMAN!!!
Quoted from halpain24:I don't know why but the sound and feel of hitting the metal ramps on Metallica is sweet. Just gives a weird cutting edge feeling, fun to hit.
It has that sound like running a knife along a sharpener. Totally metal \m/
