Weird Speaker Sounds

[Robert Bosco]

Often times I hear this odd sound coming from the speakers on the R68's... kind of like a prolonged "eeeehhhhh." It's almost as if the conductor has his finger on the speaker button, and doesn't let go, even after he stopped making announcements. I even heard that sound today on the , R32.

I know exactly what your talking about. I hear very often on almost all the R68's that run on the . It does sound like the C/R holding down the talk button on the PA.

 

There's also another weird low pitched sound coming from the train itself. It sorta sounds like a sheep (yes the animal) crying out. You have to kinda listen closely to really hear it. You can hear on a train where everyone's quiet.

If you really want to hear the "sheep noise," take the Brighton Line, and stand on a platform at Avenue J (or a station resembling that one)...when a R68 on the opposite platform pulls out, u can hear the sheep noise for some time, long after the train has already departed.

Ah man, those sounds are actually pretty great. I like to hear them when I'm on the train.

yeah it is like a buzz....

[error46146]

i think it's the speakers having a buzzing problem, it happens alot

[R32 3348]

It happens almost all the time on the R32, and ^ won't accept that fact and try to prove me wrong because he thinks the R32 is flawless.

[R1Toasty]

I know for a fact it happens on the R68. I rode one out to Brighton Beach last summer and the whole way there it was just "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." which was quite annoying. I was almost ready to get out and wait for another one, but I persevered.

I guess I'm the only one that hears the sheep sounds. I'll try and get a recording of it.
