I live in Austria, and I clearly remember the very first time I ever heard a Taurus accelerate, almost 20 years ago. At first, I really thought someone was playing the violin right behind me, but then I turned around and noticed it was the TRAIN ITSELF that's making these noises, and I was like: "Damn Siemens, what an epic move!!" I don't often travel by train, but when I do, I'm always looking out for a Taurus when I'm waiting at the platform. It's my favourite engine, and apart from its legendary start up sound, the design with the sloped front is absolutely timeless and still looks futuristic! 👌
Me too i also live in Austria
Now that's what I call Electronic music
Thats i use to make musical xd
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh
This is the piano express
A train like this makes a sound as a lead pad
I was always wondering why no one ever tried to use Tereus's starting sound to make music😂
I don't know who agreed to let the programmers program the transistors to make this sound, but thank you to whoever that was! 🤣
It's like a bigger version of the Keikyu N1000 and 2100 trains
They Actually programmed full melodies in at first when they built the prototypes of this locomotive. Later on they removed this feature and instead programmed this sound in.
@@tractioninverter source: trust me bro trust me
also it's nothing about programming the inverters just sound like that and they took their chance and rearranged them to have a musical scale that goes up when departing and down when arriving
@@Myron0117 source: trust me bro trust me
if programming wouldn't be involved, you wouldn't be able to hear shit and, well, that thing wouldn't move 😂
@@Myron0117 Switching Frequencies and synchronous pulse systems are defined in a software lookuptable implemented on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) card inside the SIBAS32 traction control unit. The individual control cards of the traction control unit can be configured via a special serial port connection. However, I can not tell you more about loading software into critical components like this. If you want to know more, please apply at Siemens for a certified training course. You will receive valuable information about the SIBAS32 control platform. You will also gain insights into the topic of configuration and/or software loading. Learning more is never wrong!
To make it clear: It is possible to generate musical melodies with any SIBAS32 TCU. Removing the „Taurus scale“ entirely would also be possible; setting the initial switching frequency to 300Hz. The semiconductor switches (Gate-Turn-Off Thyristors) inside the phase modules only define the boundaries of safely applicable switching frequencies.
A lot of Alstom trains: 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
Siemens Taurus: 🎵🎵🎶
When I first heard this at Vienna Hauptbahnhof, I thought it was a sax player !
Same ! :D
im now exactly here in novotel hauptbahnof and i hear it sometimes at firat i didnt i underatand why i hear that .
@@caman1628
Haha.
Excellent.
I haven't been able to get to Austria since December 2019.
I heard this at Berlin last week and thought someone randomly started playing an instrument 😂
Same Here
The Taurus is one of my favorite trains. They sound really nice!
Sounds like Dorian scale/mode. Very cool that they designed it that way!
I just love the sound of this locomotive! It’s pretty unique to hear an engine that has a musical scale when it departs
Incredible sounds. Fantastic!
those do re mi are caused by the inverters on the motors
That last high note needs some practise work 🙂
What a weird combo, the brakes sound like violins being screeched like in horror movies when something bad is or has happened, then you have the acceleration that sings a jovial tune
There is another fun feature of the locomotive if you were able to put in the train length indicator it's going to make the Roadrunner beep. Learned this from The train simulator world stream of Hamburg to Lübeck by Dovetail games
The road runner beep is also used as the "Doors Closing" warning on the Rail Runner in New Mexico.
First sound when breaks releasing, sounds like an eagle. Then: Do-Re-Mi-Fa in 14 distinct steps. Very cool and powerful sound of these locomotives!
Thats true
My Favourite Locomotive. :) Taurus is the Best Siemens Loco. :)
I agree
Thats true
at 5:05 the sound is AMAZING
The music comes from PWM signal of various frequencies. This signal turns the transistor (a switch) on and off repeatedly, giving power to the motor and cutting it off. This makes the motor spin not continuously as if the train had rheostatic control system, but in pulses which can be heard, making the PWM modulated current a form of AC. This is the same nature of sound as of the loudspeaker. Because the PWM frequencies are various, it's called VFD - Variable Frequency Drive.
You are kind of right, but some things are still a bit mixed up.
Its actually called VFD because it can modulate variable frequency fundamental waves by implementing PWM. The voltage pulses create an artificial sine wave current which then creates a rotating magnetic field. The field is not perfectly smooth because of the pulsing - this creates vibrations. The vibrations are at the frequency of the PWM and get spread through the parts near the motor making them audible. The PWM frequency doesn’t really play an important part in this (it does, but not worth mentioning now). That’s why the first versions of this locomotive even played full melodies. Almost no videos of that were ever recorded (one is on my channel and the other one you can find in a „Bahnorama“ film about the Taurus). Another note: the semiconductor power switches used here are Gate-Turn-Off Thyristors (short: GTOs).
This is so cool but the fact that it jumps to 600 Hz with an uneven step after the last note bothers me more than it should
The actual converter switching frequency is only half of what you can hear. The GTO phase modules only support 300Hz maximum but the sound emitted is at 600Hz.
5-10 Minuten später abfahren ...das ist die ÖBB 😅 .. . ich liebe die Taurus Lok. Ich finde, sie ist sehr, sehr schön und der Klang ist mega. Ich liebe auch den Klang, wenn sie die Bremsen löst vorm Wegfahren, einfach herrlich. Was ich aber noch nie gehört habe, ist am Ende dieses Videos, wenn die Taurus in der Haltestelle bremst und stehen bleibt jnd die Tonleiter wieder runtersingt.
I Love Taurus and this is why its my favorite Locomotive
Same
The reason they make those sounds is very similar to the reason why the MR-73 Montreal metro fleet go "dou dou dou." The voltage required to power the motors is lower than that coming from the third rail/centenary. A device called a pulse with modulator breaks down the voltage to levels tolerable for the motors. That's the thing that produces those sounds.
In this case I believe they are also using AC 3phase asynchronous motors with variable frequency drives from a traction inverter, each time the inverter changes frequency the tone changes
@@dasy2k1 Either way, It's really the same concept. The MR-73 were the first AC motor trains ever made. Most DC powered trains make a buzzing noise.
@@gliese909 MR-73 is not an AC motor train,it is using the DC Motor with Chopper control.that three note are coming from Chopper control.
The first AC motor with GTO VVVF control should be M100 train by ABB-Strömberg from Helsinki Metro in Finland, Manufacturer in 1977-1984
@@AAA839 The M100 actually predates the widespread availability of GTO thyristors and instead uses SCRs (same sort of device but without the gate turn-off ability), paired with commutation circuits to force them off as needed. The end result (and sound) is nearly the same, but the maximum frequency is even lower.
Well, this is the same reason, why both ČD class 362 (or ČD class 162) and Tatra T6A5 tram make a low pitched three tone upscaling sequence, when they're accelerating from the standstill. The sequence is composed out of three tones: 33 Hz, 100 Hz and 300 Hz.
They all use pulse-driven high-current thyristors.
Although there are some specialties.
1st: Tatra T6A5 tram sometimes skips the first tone (33 Hz), only doing the second (100 Hz) and third tone (300 Hz). It also doesn't "hold" the third tone for too long, as it is slowly washed away by the sound of traction motors.
2nd: After reaching certain speed threshold (aprox. 65 - 70 km/h), ČD class 362 (ČD class 162) shifts from third tone (300 Hz) to second tone (100 Hz). The drivers call this "an upper 100." IDK exactly the purpose of this downshift, but I guess it's meant to increase the thrust of the loco.
I don't know if I want to turn trains into anime girls, but I'll start with Taurus as a idol because yes.
I would start with Traxx and then Taurus
17:27 lol that car alarm got on when the train started moving 🤣
Super video hodně se ti povedlo a je to hodně originální ještě u jiného RUclipsra jsme tohle neviděl a jsi můj nejoblíbenější youtuber😃🌏
The Siemens Taurus! One feat of engineering and aat 4:56 it clearly reads: „Spirit of Munich“ - Thanks to ÖBB to rely on german Engineering! May those locomotives serve ÖBB another 20 years!
Výborný zostrih ako vždy!! Palec hore!
Just love it. Unbeatable.
Everytime Taurus accelerates, It sounds like a violin!!!
it's like a violin and I love it.
The engineers are just flexing at this point
we also have the hector rail here in Sweden. is also sounds like this.
Very cool! much cooler than ford taurus
Nagyon tetszenek nekem a Taurus Mozdonyok ahogy zenél...
The best locomotive ever! Much better in any way than our boring unreliable HŽPP 1142 'Brena' which i call Defekt-Rena, or Plastic-Rena in new cancerous red livery!
I love sounds fantastic.
Sehr guter Zusammenschnitt. Der Klang ist in meinen Ohren Musik.
Grüße aus Deutschland.
Das ist wahr
this is therapeutic
A good alternative to a locomotive bell
🇨🇿
ČD 362 (Eso): Lidi si nemůžou vynachválit, jak hezky zpívám při rozjezdu.
ÖBB 1116 (Taurus): Cha cha! Podrž mi pivo, a poslouchej můj rozjezd!
0:20
ÖBB 1116 (Taurus): Pche! 1000x lepší, než to tvoje bzučení Esíčko.
ČD 362 (Eso): 😒
🇬🇧🇺🇸
ČD class 362 (Ace): People really can't express their praise, when I am singing during accelerating from standstill.
ÖBB class 1116 (Taurus): Oh ha ha! Hold my beer, and listen to me accelerating from standstill.
0:20
ÖBB class 1116 (Taurus): Hah! 1000x better, than your buzzing Acey.
ČD class 362 (Ace): 😒
Siemens while making the taurus 1016 and 1116 - Play a song would ya?
It sounds magnificient with wheelslip
I think it is brake release, the locomotive starts with brakes applied, i think the brakes are engaged on stop to prevent it roll downhill in case of not level terrain
nice
First time I heard this was on someone's train simulator. I burst out laughing because I thought their sound had screwed up and was playing the motor acceleration in stages instead of smoothly, because they had a crap computer or something.
Super
Vrelé dakujem za toto videjko :) Škoda ze u nás môžme len snívat o takýchto... :) Neni krajšieho zvuku...
Wenn man die 1116er hört, weiss man, was europäische Bahnkunst ist!
Nekem nagyon tetszik a Szolmizálo Hang a Du-ri-mi👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😉😉
Nejlepší vlakový spěvák
sounds like universal studios to me
Suber 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And in my class they said that trains can't play...
Now can!!!
Yes, they can
Great.
Keikyu 1000 Also had these but now they've been replaced.
in austria, the rails are alive with the sound of music
You are forgetting Germany in the form of DB Baureihe 182 MRCE Baureihe 182 & Dispolok Baureihe 182. Look inside Cottbus Hauptbahnhof RE1 Magdeburg Berlin Cottbus is a 182 locomotive service. However it will then run into Dresden Hbf from Cottbus Hbf as RE18 Cottbus Hbf Großenhain Cottbuser Bahnhof Coswig Dresden Neustadt Dresden Hbf when needed Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe VVO & Verkehrsverbund Berlin Brandenburg VBB fares apply for RE18 Dresden Hbf Coswig Großenhain Cottbuser Bahnhof Ruhland Ortrand Cottbus
@@EpicThe112 are you seriously saying "Baureihe" to an english speaking person? how is he gonna understand that?
@MoRoN222 I had to do that because it's used frequently in Dovetail Games Train Sim community. That German term is translated as class
@@EpicThe112 DTG is stupid to call it BR but thats still german so idk whats that about in english but ok
super video tyhle mašiny mám moc rád
Wow cool ich mag am liebsten 🚅🚅🚅🚆🚆und Flugzeuge
Wie findest du den A340, A350 und A380, die B747, 777 und 787?
Geht mir auch so
Tolles Video.
So the only question is : why the Taurus is making those sounds at the start ?
I think, that designers said, if we can't remove the sound, then at least it sounds good :)
At the end: Wii console crash sound
Schönes Video
Super upoutávka a jenom kde jsi to točil
video z upútavky je zo stanice Landeck-Zams :)
@@Poiree díky za odpověď
Can you play it with the saxophone?
Railway music))))))
King Crimson should program one to play 21st century schizoid man and find a way to get it to move through the show.
2:22
This sounds like a b c d e f g
Jen nevím, jestli má z toho radost i fíra :) Like.
railjet je super a nejlepší je když ho táhne taurus a když je na tvym videu
Railjets are looking great
musical express
stupnice C dur :D jinak ten traxx ms3 taky nezpívá špatně :)
:D
wait if the train slow down does the melody goes backward??
Exactly :)
@@Poiree *interesting af*
Yes, but I never heard this before, when it goes backward. Its soo cool
Ta upoutávka je na YT novinkou?
Tý jo to nevím ale jestli ano je to super!
Áno, teraz som to prvý krát objavil :)
@@Poiree Tak až budu dělat premiéru tak to budu muset vyzkoušet 👍
@@StudioRisa Budu muset zjistit, jak se vytváří. Taky bych ji rád vyzkoušel.
@@tukanova.zeleznice to je jenom pro kabala co mají 1k subs a více myslím. Nebo 10k teď nevím ale myslím že 1k
What specific design feature in the traction motor's part makes it sound the symphony...Can anybody tell?
The simple explaination:
It is because of the way how the TCU is programmed. The TCU is the computer that generates PWM pulses which then switch the power semiconductors on and off - these powerful impulses create artificial sine wave currents. These results in a rotating magnetic field to turn the motor. Because of the pulses it is not perfectly smooth so the whole motor and the parts around vibrate with the pulsing frequency therefore making it audible for us to hear.
3 phase traction motors?
Eros Ramazoti
Engine made by Kraftwerk!
Prečo Taurus vydáva také zvuky pri rozjazde???
OBB vs Keiku
That last note sounds scratchy.....
006 Finally
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Jak to že to takhle hraje
Sounds like Lisa Simpson on her sax
Lamija
I don't like this sound...I prefer the classical impressive sound!........
So you've never heard of musical locomotives before?
