2e0dtoeric Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Are you sure it is not the 'water boiling in the boiler' noise - A sizzly rumbly noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir john Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 No it happened when the loco was running one minute it was chuffing then changed to frying no other sounds were turned on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 If your controller is capable of writing to CVs try a sound reset by writing value 5 to CV8.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morairamike Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 On one of my A4 locos, self fitted with TTS, I had a speaker that started to give a crackling sound. Just started as the loco was running with only the chuff sound. Not at full vol. I did a reset to no avail. Then tried another speaker beware they are 8 ohms. It was the speaker at fault. Hornby changed it but I went sugarcube instead. Oh yes the substitute speaker came from a sound birthday card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir john Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sounds like the same problem I have .will see what the replacement performs like might be worth changing the speaker on installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
