Binaural recording of the sound of the TGV Lyria Euroduplex locomotive after stopping in the Basel SBB trainstation. I think this sound is the "spitter valve" which vents moisture from the compressed air system (can anyone confirm / deny this?).

It's repetitive, and loops at around 153 bpm.

Very cool, I just recently also recorded a high speed train's noises but I'm less informed about what they stem from. :D
