I'm thinking things like harp and marimba

You can really feel the waves of sound

I came in here all wrong. I was going to say a large office printer/copy machine has that thrum you feel, the rhythm of each page flipping and printing, and the smell of warm micro plastics.

Organ i think, but it probably helps that it's usually played in a big stony building (church).

Whats the most mellow organ sound/playing or example you know of for organ? Like resonant and enveloping but mellow timbre and probably lower register for pitch

Upright piano with the front panel taken off

The humble kalimba has some of the qualities I think you are describing. Also just a regular nylon string guitar.

  • Steel drums do this for me
  • Oboes
  • some brass instruments (depends on the player...if they can achieve that crystal clear tone)
  • Taiko ensembles!
  • if live, mandolin, dulcimer, lute

Edit 1: The venue acoustics will also factor heavily too.

Edit 2: ooh! Didgeridoos! Also best if live.

Feed me brussel sprouts and I can really feel the waves of sound.

They're like little depth charges.

Gong
Singing bowls / tibetan bowls

All of them if you're on enough LSD!

The French horn, from someone who knows how to play it well.
