Oooooooowwww

OK I first heard this sound when I was in the dispatcher booth trying to get the trains moving again that were stuck to the right of Bezin and through this signal box.  I won't bother repeating the known issues with trains routed the wrong way causing some of this chaos.

Anyways suddenly I hear this sound and I thought who did that to check the players online and nobody was on.  I thought that was strange.  

Later that night I ran a train and part way in on one occasion I hear it again.  I can understand this sound over a bump (thought I find it will become annoying and old) but what is going on in the signal box?

Thanks

Thought it was an external sound, thanks for writing this. 😂

[Schyrsivochter]

What kind of sound are you talking about?

[SurvivorSean]

If you watch my stream from last night I forget the time stamp.

Thanks

Essentially a *boom* and an „Oww“. I always wonder what it‘s supposed to be…

i think thats the sound we noticed in the trains at the beginning of playtesting,

we were wondering if it was supposed to be a sound of the driver hitting his head or something when going over a rough bit of track, i was thinking maybe a pneumatic contactor opening, the 'owwww' being a rapid release of air.

Others thought it may have been a sound that was accidentally left in.

But if it's doing it in the signal box, that's made it even weirder.

could it be the sound of a developer hitting the desk and going 'ooowwwwferfecksake' when things weren't going to plan 🤔

I think it's for bumpy points, but just glitched.  I have had it over points, but I've had it when stationary, too, and obviously in the signal box either makes it weirder, or more glitched.

I think it's just a light hearted little addition included to raise a smile.  Maybe it would wear thin over time, but it's such a short bit of audio and happens fairly infrequently that they've probably judged it about right.

But the other theories are interesting, so I'd love to know what it's about.

When I had my first dispatcher session I thought that would be the sound of a derailing train and the sound that my character does because of that, lol. I'm glad that was not the case. 

[SurvivorSean]

Thing is until that particular session I never heard it before.  Very strange.

i have to say i havent heard it in the EU07 since a good few days ago,
Maybe they have put some padding over the drivers seat so he's not hitting his head anymore 🤕

The same sound is played when you hit a person in the full cab (real driver training) simulator based on SimRail. The question is why does the game think you've hit somebody.

i normaly hear that stuff when i drive the EMU i dont find some blood at the front and dont hear bones break so i guess its someone in the train that was going to fast to the WC 🙂
