in TS12 and T:ANE, don't know about other editions, there is a content item packed in called:
In TS: Jointed Rail Generic 4-axle Wheelsound by therock, <kuid2:37581:1221:3>
In T:ANE: Jointed Rail Generic 4-axle Wheelsound by therock, <kuid2:37581:1221:3> (don't worry about the obsolete Wheelsound content there)
This item is pretty much responsible for all the track/wheel/coupler clatter
you hear or wish to silence coz it drives you nuts.
You should know by now that when you drive locos at about 0-10 mph, you get a nasty gravel sound like gravel hitting the fender wells of a car over freshly-paved roads.
About 10-45, you get that wrenches-tumbling-in-a-clothes-dryer sound.
At speeds approaching 50 and above, you get that nice, clean, soft clickety-clack of train wheels hitting the rail joints in rhythmic fashion.
There is a way to get the good, realistic track sounds of 50 and above at any speed. The little-red-wagon-load-of-wrenches-over-cobblestones racket will be gone forever.
You simply DISABLE that Wheelsound in CM: no more said on how to do that.
At every train speed between 1 mph and above, you will only hear the sweet, realistic clickety-clack during game driving.
The clickety-clack will still be synchronized with train speed, having a natural faster tempo as the train speeds up.
It seems to have the same effect on all various rolling stock I have test-driven. Clean clickety-clack sound in game to stay: musical-wrenches/hailstone-on-tin-roof jingle-jangle gone!
There is no need to monkey around with the trainzoptions file, config or trying different track sounds. My little fix did the trick. It seems to have a
global effect in Trainz 2012 or T:ANE.
Earlier, in TS12, I tried this parameter in trainzoptions to no avail:
-DisableRailJointSounds
The same clatter still persisted.
