Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep pshhhhhhhhhhhh ;D ROFL, that sums it up nicely! On stock which also has a door opening chime, it's usually a 'ding-dong'. On D stocks, we have no door close chimes (at least on the unrefurbished stocks) so the noise is just a longer pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;D |

Interesting! I have only heard the "beep" and "Pshhhhht" stuff on videos. However, Q8's rendition of "Rumble...rumble...clunk" invoked many "audible memories" of when I was last on a LUL train (>25 yrs ago). I do recall R Stocks, COCPs, 59/62TS et al. "Clunk" - that's what a door closing should sound like!
Now, who can articulate what an R Stock compressor sounded like? I can still hear it in my head, but "chunka-chunka-chunka" is as close as I can get.

Speaking of strange sounds, I once heard a motor generator set with the drive band slipping. Sounded like an angry sewing machine on amphetamines!  |
