And if so, how can I change it? I really hate hearing a loud "clunk, ker clunk" rail sound when I am riding around in certain passenger wagons.I assume that it is the route itself, because the same identical passenger wagon sounds different on different routes. I assume as well that these sounds also control the track sound changes depending on your speed?TIA!

it is the ttype.dat-file

If you have a few extra bucks to spare, I recommend giving those guys and their "Enhanced Track Sounds" a try:http://www.railwaves.com/ >> products >> Enhanced Track SoundsIt's a very realistical sound for jointed track that can easily be used on any route: It adds all the necessary .wav and .sms files in your train simulator/sound folder, and all you need to do is to drop their modified ttype.dat into any route where you want to have their sounds in. Pretty fail-save, and very rewarding. I don't use default sounds on any route anymore... With a bit of insight into how .sms files work, it is also very easy to make modified copies of their various .sms files in order to adjust your sounds, e.g. to have a set of files simulating longer joints or even welded track, so that the clickety-clack doesn't come every 30m/30 yards but any longer (or shorter) distance you like: All you need to do is to open the copies of the .sms files in WordPad and to alter the line Dist_Travelled_Trigger ( Dist_Min_Max ( 30 30 ) Volume ( 1 1 ) )which you will find in three instances inside each .sms file to whatever minimum and maximum distance you like. ( 500 500 ) gives ÿou pretty much the impression of welded track, while ( 12 20 ) would be more appropriate for a run-down narrow gauge branch line...Then make a copy of the ttype.dat also and change all the references in there to the modified .sms files you just edited as described above. Voilà, you have just created a second, custom set of track sounds that you can use in any route by just replacing the default ttype.dat with your new creation (just don't forget to delete the old one and rename your creation ttype.dat) Lukas a.k.a Swissie

Or if you have a bit more cash try the 3d perfection sounds at:-http://www.3d-perfection.com/train-simulator-sounds.htmlThis will allow you to give each car/wagon an individual sound and it sounds great.Jon
