Indeed there are, as many have graphically pointed out. In the realm of pipe smoking, though, hearing a favorite briar hit the floor is a bit gut-wrenching for sure.

No , there is no worst sound and a hard wooden wenge floor will do fine too.
I once dropped a wonderful, unsmoked Barry Jones period carved JU pipe and the tenon of course snapped.
It happened ten minutes after Ken Barnes and I discussed the very pipe.
I felt like falling out of a window...forever. My mood was spoiled for at least two days.
Can be I'm overly sensitive though.

I had a pressed meerschaum no-name 'cutty' that I used to post on here. It was French and it was a piece of crap but I used to smoke it quite a lot. I dropped that on the floor one day and it completely exploded - I mean faux amber stem of Bakelite and bowl just atomized. The only piece I ever found was the bone tenon and that showed up about two weeks later about 15 feet from the point of impact. Some of you older denizens of this forum might remember the pipe since Rick of Briarville tried to color it by dipping it in coffee. It really didn't color and just added to the total 'piece of crap' feel that the pipe exuded.
We really didn't think the coyotes sounded all that bad, and there was no mess left behind.
Oops, this appears to be real in California - at least in terms of urban coyotes attacking kids - if I need to get both of my feet out of my mouth, I'll yank hard!
Apparently you've never dropped an infant. It's bad enough when you let one slip in the yard of soft grass but the sound of one hitting the drive way is WAY, WAY, WAY worse than the sound of your favorite pipe hitting concrete. It's seconded only by the horrific sound your wife makes when she discovers what you did by giving the kid a bath and wipes away the makeup you used to cover up the bruise.
You want a horrendous sound? Try pissing out kidney stones through a stent they shoved up your dick so you can piss which feels like you are pissing glass. Try that on for size. Oh yeah when you are done pissing out the stones, they yank the fucking stent with no nonvaccine or any pain meds. It is medieval torture shit.
Acrylic stems snap easier than hell. All it takes is the right angle. I've dropped a few. Round trip ticket to Briarville or wherever. I sneer at the dents. They're just beauty marks, denoting character--the character of the owner, nine times out of ten a drunk. Your experience, of course, any vary.
Or, the sound of a baby crying... any baby... hell, any crying... I can't stand it.
You sir ! That's a terrible thing. They are such good smokers ?Touch wood, so far I've never dropped a pipe.
Well actually, I did drop some cobs in the trash can
