NYC Subway HD Audio: Siemens SITRAC AC Traction Motor IGBT Inverter Sounds on The R160B (3/1/19)

Recorded on the Brighton Line between Prospect Park and Sheepshead Bay. Enjoy =)

Yes exactly!

[@adammars1438]

Hate the fact R211s are gonna use the AlsTOm PrOPuLsiON instead of this magnificent beast!
2023 Update: The R211s are using a different propulsion

[@Emperor_NYC]

Magnificent? Nah. An R160 is an R160. Sure, the Siemens propulsion sounds good but doesn’t change the fact that it’s an R160 people ruined due to foaming.

[@morganlimes]

ADAM MARS wtf! More alstoms smh

[@SigmaRho2922]

The r211 will not use the same propulsion as the r142 and r160.

[@villavine10]

What would sound better is that r110b engine.

[@sockfetishguy7708]

I know right. I'm only assuming that the Alstom propulsion sounds on the R211 will sound a lot like the R160As

[@milestone_achiever4634]

They are the true sequel to the R142A sound!!!!

R160B that sound must be SIEMENS GTO Inverter not IGBT Inverter

[@skullgeezer7174]

I’m sorry to say this guys, but the R211 beats the R160B by the slightest bit. Though the R160B sounds so similar to an SMRT C651, also built by Siemens.

[@Emperor_NYC]

Now that you’ve done NTT’s, try out OTT’s. It may not be as noisy and may not have as good of propulsion’s but it’ll still be good to have. Besides, the older sounds are always the better sounding ones, and with OTT’s, they’re always cool to see in general, anyways.

[@m0dze1532]

U mean SMEE not OTT

[@bullymaguire6168]

@@m0dze1532 same thing

[@blue9multimediagroup]

@@bullymaguire6168 no. No such thing as OTT. Older trains didn't all have the same propulsions or setups so you can't use a blanket term for them.

[@jaydottt_transitfanner]

@@blue9multimediagroupeven though its not an official term you can still call them OTTs because something becomes old when theres a similar functioning object that has advancements

So no one was looking at you funny when you opened the doors just to place a camera between the cars?

[@FanRailer]

If anyone was, no one said anything to me. People walk between cars all the time, so I don't think anyone really cares lol.

[@CaptainTransit]

Yeah, at this point in time, nobody cares, just ad long as you aren’t riding between them. The only time people look is when you open the doors.

[@cfc.blue_clipzz]

what makes the bang dang clink dang sounds, i think its the wheels gearbox what do yall think

[@etnyc469]

It's the wheels against certain parts of the track mostly the part where 2 different parts connect or a power source on the track

[@blue9multimediagroup]

@@etnyc469 what power source on the track? They're powered by third rail, which is offside and is smooth so you wouldn't hear any noise from that. The sounds you hear are the wheels crossing the connections between each rail and the parts underneath each car moving with the train momentum.

[@joanndeng3198]

This sounds like a keikyu and a And a c651 train 😮

[@skydweller2304]

I say that r160b q train 12 cars!!!!!

[@nah_144]

All R160B Subway cars are 5 car sets. The Q train uses two 5 car sets to make a 10-car train.

[@lirrproductions4622]

Were AC Traction Motors meant to make sounds, what purpose do they serve?

[@geminatrafalgar8978]

Good question, I have no idea...
They probably make the train accelerate like uhm.... you know, efficiently I guess..

[@blue9multimediagroup]

It's the motor frequency

[@iitrapezoid_8243]

I think it's for track workers to tell how fast a train is approaching.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

@@iitrapezoid_8243 nope. It's the motor frequency. Transit companies don't specify how the train motors sound as they have no control over it.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

And AC (alternating current) power is spread out better across the system vs DC (direct current) which has to have multiple substations along the line to distribute the power without losses and drop in power over long distances.

[@danjofromnyc4256]

Why does the train wobble

[@trillboygaming4332]

It's normal

[@edwqdd2914]

its the tracks

[@iitrapezoid_8243]

Tracks aren't perfectly smooth, but these newer trains are built with computer stabilization

[@jaydottt_transitfanner]

A classical hunting oscillation is a swaying motion of a railway vehicle (often called truck hunting or bogie hunting) caused by the coning action on which the directional stability of an adhesion railway depends. It arises from the interaction of adhesion forces and inertial forces. At low speed, adhesion dominates but, as the speed increases, the adhesion forces and inertial forces become comparable in magnitude and the oscillation begins at a critical speed. Above this speed, the motion can be violent, damaging track and wheels and potentially causing derailment. The problem does not occur on systems with a differential because the action depends on both wheels of a wheelset rotating at the same angular rate, although differentials tend to be rare, and conventional trains have their wheels fixed to the axles in pairs instead. Some trains, like the Talgo 350, have no differential, yet they are mostly not affected by hunting oscillation, as most of their wheels rotate independently from one another. The wheels of the power car, however, can be affected by hunting oscillation, because the wheels of the power car are fixed to the axles in pairs like in conventional bogies. Less conical wheels and bogies equipped with independent wheels that turn independently from each other and are not fixed to an axle in pairs are cheaper than a suitable differential for the bogies of a train.
