LIRREX M9 Sound Mod (V2)

Changes multiple sounds to the LIRREX's M9. Felt as multiple sounds were either too quiet, low quality or both.

V1 (OLD) Changes

  • New external horn
  • New running sounds
  • New accurate braking squeal
  • Improved 2400hz traction motor reverb, sounds less artificial
  • Adjusted door opening sound
  • Added LIRR's characteristic pre-PA "ding-dong" after doors open
  • Adjusted exterior HVAC volume

Version 2 Changes

  • Added a new recorded HVAC sound
  • Adjusted various traction motor sound resources to have proper realistic oscillations, pitch, and stereo/3D sound
  • Changed horn to use default loop sound, changing only the start and end
  • Fully reworked running sounds again
  • Fixed unrealistically loud running sounds underground and at slow speeds
  • Added option for door chime/no chime paks
  • Increased volume of all joint/junction sounds

I will leave the old mod file in case some people prefer the old choppy horn and/or running sounds.

Note that each .pak mod is standalone, it is not reccomended to download more than one of the three

Install by dropping into "C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 5\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC" on PC
or wherever your TSW install is into the DLC folder

nice m9 upgrade but wheres the high speed rail sound for it? i mean like when the train is at higher speed it starts making high pitched sounds and im not hearing it on this model other than that nice upgrade

Great stuff, I just have two suggestions. 1: Could you make a version without the announcement ding after the doors open as without announcements to accompany it, it sounds unusual. 2: Could you fix the horn loop as after a few seconds it's quite noticeable. Otherwise, I think you did a really good job.

thank you for giving us an option w/o chime for those of us with announcements that already have the chime. :)
