Class 166 audio incarnate!!!
This pack features 2 key sides:
- The fundamental soundset recorded from various Class 165s and 166s forming the general expectation of how a Networker Turbo sounds.
- And 3 unique subsets to pick one from for the interior - one of the Class 165/0, one of the Class 165/1, and one of the Class 166/2... all three sound different and this has been captured.
There are 2 extras in this mod:
- One file makes the screaming aircon quiet using different recordings
- Another file overlays sounds mimicking original 1990s door chimes used for the Networker family
For the best experience, follow the installation instructions. These have been rewritten. Any changes I make to files or this mod will be documented in the included changelog text files.
Here is the promotional video from 2021:
Enjoy the feel of Turbo power!

is it possible to do a class 43 mk3 and horn replacer?
i would be much appreciated if possible. Thanks.
Great sounds. Amazing job you are doing.
Thank's very good sound
Merci Monsieur..
Wonder full, good job
Thank you! It was very expensive to make these changes.
can u give me a version with the horn shown in the video
If you ping me on the Discord server, I'll see what I can do
ok what are u on discord
Oh the misery
I'm confused what do i download from here? the base audio8? the internal Engine 0, 1 or 2?
It's a good thing that the installation instructions have been there for weeks
Hi will you be making this compatible with the new steam version 4.26? This sounds amazing and id love to be able to drive with these & the 43 sounds. But my tsw2 mod program is showing that its incompatible with the game version.
Thank you VERY much for the quieter HVAC sounds! Awesome job as always!
Very good Job with this RH update ! Thanks
Thanks for the update to steam 4.26 version :) however I feel like the interior sounds are just a bit too loud. You can barely hear the horn both inside & outside over the sounds of the engine. I dont know if this is true to life as ive never heard a 165/6 in person.
Love the sounds though 😁
Later
Hey, really like this mod, but i've noticed that the in cab whine is pretty loud... like tinnitus almost. Is there any way to lower the volume of that...?

It's not cab whine, it's HVAC. And it's just as loud as that in real life.
what one do i download for this sound mod so many files why cant u just have one
There are instructions if you just scroll up.
And I can't just have one because if you look at the figures for how many people have download each different mod, it demonstrates their desire to each have different sounds.
is it possable to make an arosa line sound mod its ya165
okay then so download all files and do they all go in the dlc area?
- Navigate to: Games\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 2\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC
- Install the Base Audio
- Install only one of the Internal Engines
- Optional: install the Old Door Alarms and/or Quiet Air Con
This mod is superb. Engine sounds are spot on! Only thing I think needs some improvement is the horn. Just doesn't sound right to me, especially inside the cab. Great work though keep it up :)
it sounds very scratchy to me and doesnt sound like any horn ive ever heard, other than that the rest is great
Too bad. It's recorded from a real 165
fair enough
The issue here is that it is recorded from inside the passenger compartment of the loco rather than from the outside. It sounds vibrational / distorted from inside the passenger compartment but as you’ll hear from this video, externally it is a MUCH cleaner type of sound. So technically this isn’t actually an accurate representation of the horn.
Too bad for you I guess
Doesn’t bother me in the slightest as I don’t use any of your sounds. I was notifying you of your error, so that you could improve the quality of your mods for the experience of others.
Well thanks for your opinion, albeit.
It wasn’t an opinion - it was a technical correction
There, I got a new technically correct recording with no errors.
Wow - much better now
🧢
Thanks for this, the audio sounds great and makes the 166 much more fun to drive. How would you like a challenge? Removing the terrible 'depth of field effect' in tsw2 which blurs either the cab or the track, or even both if you are unlucky with your scrioll wheel settings! lol
thanks again
The sound gets better and better with each update!
thanks a lot
I appreciate this
Thank you!
you guys are to be congratulated, made me go back to simulating tsw with pleasure again...
You have done God's work here. Thanks! It's like Armstrong Powerhouse sprinkled some dust and it sounds like a real thing. Just a question. You didn't happen to pick up much flange, wheel rubbing, that sort of stuff?
Is it possible to make the horn louder? it's too quiet. loud like the door closing beep
I can but this will take some time. You might get it by the end of the week
I think the update today (6/20) on the entire route might have affected these mods. I hope it's not just something on my end...
Nah
At least I haven't noticed anything
Thank's for all : do they work with TSW3 ?
Yes
Great !
Merci pour votre travail, cet engin moteur possède maintenant des sons dignes de ce nom grace à vous
Thanks for 166 sound
Thank you for making and updating these sound mods, I'll be Updating to the new sound mods, I like the sound mods very good. :)
are you able to make a sound mod for the new 158
It's nearly finished
could you add the old horn back please
I've been given feedback that suggests people much prefer the way it is now
I take it that SoundMod26 is all that is needed for TS4. Or will the other options from the Zip file be needed?
The zipped files are old (TSW3)
Concerning this, are your recently updated sound mods working too in TSW3? All are marked as only TSW4 compatible and don't have old files, like this, in their download section. Thanks a lot for your impressive work!
This is a one-off
So the others are the rule. Ok. May I then assume that new versions not including TSW3 specific files are working in TSW3 too, despite the "TSW4 only tag" in their descriptions? Thanks a lot.
My assumption seemed to be right. Tested your new versions and all working perfectly in TSW3 too, Many thanks again for your work and for these superb mods!
Firstly Great soundmod ^^ Thanks for sharing, but i have one question, will the Class 165 soundmod will make a return for TSW4?
i would love to see the horn from the youtube video back in the game, not to keen on the other one
Too bad
https://youtu.be/bhgIuDi-L5A and dont be so flipping toxic to people ngl u act like ur 12...
Too bad
alright 12 year old keep yappin
How about you understand your position. You have no business making demands. If I tell you "too bad", what that means is "you'll get what you're given". Now sup up.
