    Is it me or is there no flange squeal on the azuma. Iv never heard it and I have played the route for many hours. Anyone else noticed this, if so is it another case of dtg missing something basic and failing to fix it.

    The Class 801 lacks pretty much any decent sound. There is a mod (for PC) but I found while it improved the track running sound it killed what little traction sound can be heard in the cab, so gave it the heave ho.

    Sadly I'm on Xbox so no mods. I can't understand sometimes how these things get missed lol. They are the basics along with track joint sounds.

    The Class 377/387 for instance has AP sounds but doesn't have flange squeal either. Weird how things like that are missed

    Meanwhile, at London Victoria, the only thing you can hear is the ridiculously loud Class 465 flange squeal.

    I'm on platform 19, why is it so loud?!

    And because there's almost always a Networker moving at London Victoria whenever you start a service, you don't hear much else.
