Favourite Noise or Sound In MSTS

Mines the noise when you pass a signal (winding rope noise, you can hear it well when you drive a quiet train)

Mine has to be the 37 in the Scottish Central route, the 150 in the Great Eastern route and the 365/465's with the excellent Networker sound addon.

There is more to MSTS sounds than you probably think.
Open up the Route Editor and experiment a bit.
Just a word of caution, backup the route before you begin to add sounds.
Be patient there is a lot to learn. Don`t add too many sounds before you save your work.

Kindest regards
Ray

That's easy. The sound of any electric loco (81 -87) as they get the motors going and pull away from a station.

The Bats versions are spot on.

Jim's new tube trains, the C69 and D78 refurbs, make my favorite sounds. So realistic that my neck hairs rose the first time I run one.
Wow MSTS gets exciting again. CU Eric

Anything from the Berlin U-Bahn add-on - especially the anouncements. Linie 51 also sounded pretty good - I liked some of the bell noises on the trams.

Otherwise, the sounds from German Railroads add-ons are superb - I really like their P8s!

For an individual (train) sound, I like the Amtrak KL5A horns (download from train-sim.com) - beautiful.

Never thought i would admit it being a Western class 52 man but.......
Coming first,it has to be the 40's on the ELR c.d
The Western comes a very,very close second followed by the Warship and Hymek.
I also like the 150 on the Great Eastern.

Does anyone know of any good freeware generic track sounds that will go well with most models?
