How is the horn amazing, please describe it since it sounds interesting as all hell to me.
IDK how to really. Best I can say is it’s almost like a waa-waa pedal effect, with some kind of fuzz laid on top. And when it’s at the crossing a mile down road, it sounds just about as loud as the crossing a few blocks away... sound carries way better in the crisp.
OK the sound waves are not muffled by moisture in the air changing the tone, so it's vibrations are more unchanged in traveling a large distance, perfect sense to me. Thanks
Yea, maybe. But in summer + and an RH in the single digits, I’ve never noticed the same effect. In those conditions, the visual waves get distorted tho. You know, the shimmer and the water mirages like most folks notice down road on the hot highway.
I haven't noticed any difference in cold sound (but also haven't tried to discern any difference).
What makes it sound cool to me is the dead silent everything else while the train horn blows at night. In the summer there is a cacophony of crickets and such, in the winter it is so... damn... quiet... especially when the wind stops for a moment.
