Hi everyone

I am making an interactive project about European train travel for uni and I would really like some samples of the little melodies that are played before an announcement is made. I really like Maarten Otto's recording of the SNCF http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=79601 but I want more from other parts of Europe, East and West.

Thanks for your help guys!

PS I live in the UK so I've got that one covered!

I will make some in a few days. Watch my account.

thanks great, thanks! The more I can get the better!

uploaded the dutch announcement. "Please allow extra travel time"
To my knowledge this is the only announcement in the Netherlands. http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=111187

"Houd rekening met een langere reistijd" - typical Dutch railway announcement, lol. Klankbeeld, I seem to remember they had a slower version, with the last tone being a chord (several notes played together), but that may have been a few years ago.

I am still loking for other european railway jingles/melodies... I need germany, belgium, norway, sweden, denmark, czech rep, hungry, austria, turkey, croatia, slovenia, slovakia, italy and poland. If anyone could help me out with these i would be most greatful!

hey RedJess,

belgium not exactly the announcement you look but this is one to (the middle part): http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=104287
norway: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=60955

you have to look better I think. I've only tryed "train belgium"and "train Norway" and both bingo at the beginning.

come one boy, keep on searching :wink:

I wanted to provide you with the signal of the Danish Railway. It is called DSB (Danske StatsBaner) The announcement sound is composed on the tones D Es and B♭( in the Danish the B is called an H, and a B♭is a B, just to get us confused). As I don't have any recording of it myself I went looking for it and found this website http://www.toglyde.dk/
where you can find it. Toglyde means train sounds.
