The Happiest Chord

Several of the projects on which I am currently working hinge on the representation of social interaction as sound and motion. This evening I found myself wondering; if I'm representing a successful social exchange with a combination of tones, shouldn't they sound "happy?" So what is the happiest chord?

Getting lucky on Google with "Happiest chord" taught me that the magical sound I seek is a G Major 13. Personally, I prefer the 1st inversion, so that's what it will be.
