Train Horn Pack v1.0

What it does

Train Horn Pack is a small BeamNG.drive sound pack that adds three hold-to-honk horn parts to any vehicle that already has a Horn slot. The clips are synthesized air-horn chords, not recordings of a trademarked locomotive horn, and they are meant for free-roam and photo work rather than as a stand-in for a real warning device.

Install

Drop the zip file into your BeamNG.drive mods folder (the same mods/ directory the game already uses; you do not need to unpack it). Restart the game, or refresh the mod list, so the pack appears as enabled. Spawn a vehicle, open the parts menu, and open the Horn slot. The three new parts are listed with the other horns. If a vehicle has no Horn slot, the pack cannot attach to it.

Parts

• Train Horn – 3-Chime (K3-style chord). A three-bell major chord, the compact cluster many people hear as a locomotive train horn.
• Train Horn – 5-Chime. A wider five-bell chord with a little more top end.
• Single Air Horn. One low bell, closer to a heavy truck or shop air horn than to a full train chord.

Loop and volume

Each clip is a four-second seamless loop at 44.1 kHz mono, so the note should hold while the horn key is down. Community soundscape horns that use an ordinary .ogg file, rather than the game's built-in horn events, often fade for about a second after the key is released. That fade is a limitation of the common soundscape path, not a setting in this pack. There is no in-pack volume slider; use the game's vehicle audio level if a chord is too loud in the cabin or too quiet outside.

Compatibility

The parts use slotType soundscape_horn and live under vehicles/common, so they should show up on official cars and trucks that already expose a Horn slot in the parts menu — typical Gavril, Bruckell, Ibishu and similar official models. Vehicles that never received the newer soundscape horn slot, and some third-party mods, will not list the parts. The pack follows the 0.32–0.34+ soundscape format documented by the official BeamNG wiki and forum examples; it has not been run inside the game on this machine.

Multi-chime air horns

A real locomotive train horn is a set of bells on a shared air reservoir. Each bell has its own diaphragm and a slightly different length, so the sound is a close chord rather than a single pitch. The same tank-and-valve idea appears off the railway in compact portable rigs. Complete portable train horn guns, including cordless and battery powered train horns, are sold as finished assemblies; the catalogue at Horn Guns is a convenient public reference for tank size and valve current if you want to compare a complete unit with a bare set of bells.
