Added extra horns (a few of which aren't even North American) to my existing audio file "Canadian and American train horns", as well as changed the sample tones a bit for realism.

You are free to use these samples wherever you want, including commercial products. This time, please give credit - this took way too long to make and is now more realistic than ever.

THESE ARE NOT RECORDINGS, THIS AUDIO WAS SYNTHESIZED IN BEEPBOX.CO

Synthesized audio of pretty much every type of train horn used in the United States or Canada. Great for train simulators and such.

@serøtōnin You're welcome!
I originally made this to avoid using other people's resources for train simulator addons but wasn't sure if these were realistic enough. I would love it if you told me which of these seemed most realistic to you here (either by horn name or timestamp)

Thank you so much.

this... this is an actual treasure trove of horn sounds. i can't imagine how much work went into creating these. they sound EXACTLY like the actual horns.

i hope this starts to get more attention soon because you really deserve it. thank you so much for your hard work!
