Harlem M3a Sound improvements

Fixes running sound volume levels in the cab so you can actually hear points/switches, on-train cab rattles and squeaks giving a more immersive sound experience. For whatever reason DTG added these sounds but didn't put any volume to them.

Points sound very loud on high speed (aproximary at 30+ MpH). Fix it, please, and it will be one of the best sound mod

Hi, Thanks - I'll have a look at those sounds and see what I can do

Hi, a good mod for uplifting the faint default sounds, but points sound are very loud (sounds like the speakers will blow up) and the motor sounds seem to have disappeared with this.
Could you also maybe please make the airbrake release sound a bit louder too in your next update?

Yea, I've re-upped the pak to make those changes. Trouble with the point sounds is that DTG seems to use the same sound at 5mph than at 70mph and increase the volume for higher speeds. Hope this version is better though.

Great little mod, but i have to agree with the other comments all the sounds seem to just be louder than they need to be.

Thank you for your sound mods! Driving with these is really enjoyable!

Great mod, but the joint sounds are still very loud, even post revision, especially since I play with a subwoofer and desktop speakers. Is it possible to release a separate version without the joint sounds?

Avatar of Bescot
Bescot 21 Mar 2022

I've found clipping which is causing a distortion in a few of the joint sounds and will prepare a revision which should hopefully fix them, on both of the Harlem sets

First of all, I want to say. I really appreciate what you did on both set, and I am really enjoying it. Is it possible, you could add the junction sound from the LIRR, cause that junction sound was really good, and make it a little more clearer because is still a little kind of muff, but to an audio that is really comfortable for everyone here? Also is it possible to make us be able to hear the clickely clack sound, outside the train cause i still somewhat hears its muff, when going over junction and track. Thanks again for this wonderful mod, and i look forward to seeing an update. :)

The track & joint sounds are identical in both LIRR and Harlem. Sorry, I can't increase volume of the junction/joints, as if you read above - any higher than this limit is breaking peoples subwoofer speakers.

Avatar of PegasusLeosRailwayFanatix9

How about the clickely clack sound? Is there something you can do about this? Thanks

Avatar of PegasusLeosRailwayFanatix9

Is there any way you can increase the AC volume a little louder cause i can't hear the humming of the AC?

If you were to hear the M3 on the LIRR, you can actually hear the humming off the AC on and the fan blowing. Other than that Everything is good.

Very good sounds ! Thanks
but I have a problem: when I land with the mouse on the controls in the cabin they appear in English while my game is in French.
By removing the patch I find my command description in French (Language of my game)
Thanks in any case

Hi there, this is a huge improvement very well done, I was just wondering if you could remove the traction motor sound as in reality you can barely hear them, and even if you can they do not sound like the ones DTG used XD
Many thanks.

the engine sounds are very loud now

I cannot win - there are people who say they are too loud, some say too quiet. I haven't touched the motor sounds at all so this must be a placebo. If you check inside the pak you'll find NO motor sounds as the mod just uses the original ones!

Unless you mean the AC fans? They are loud in reality but I'll see what feedback I get off others

Yes, sorry they are too loud, not the same version as I've been testing myself. Update coming shortly

After downloading the latest version, there's the loud ambient noise in the cab the whole time. Maybe you could reduce them down a little bit and maybe make the airbrake release sound a bit louder.

do ya think you could spice up LIRR with these sound enhancements? I like the route but the sounds arent buying it for me unlike MNRR. Especially with the M3, the door sounds are a hudge yikes, and the only sound mod that fixed them aint compatable anymore

is it possible if you could do one for sandpatch? to make the wheel bogie and joints and clatter sounds louder and more realistic? also i like transpo's suggestion.
