The ICE1 is one of, if not the most well-known German train we currently have in TSW. Built between 1988 and 1993 in three series with different traction specifications, and therefore sounds, this train offers a great variety of possible configurations. Back when the ICE1 was showcased, I was quite annoyed because of how bad the soundset was. Wrong asynchronous frequency, switch to synchronous at the wrong speed, basically all the bogie and cab control sounds (even the damn door sounds too) taken from the in-game ICE3... yeah. I could go on and on and on. Given my annoyance, I decided to redo the soundset entirely, and I'm happy to say that I'm finally happy with how it turned out.
This soundmod portraits one of the newer configurations that is still running today. Following an accident in 2008, the first two powercars received new IGBT traction converters designed and built by ABB. After succesful tests in 2011 and 2012, the first series of powercars (001-020 (without 006) and 501-520) was equipped with the so-called 'ABB Bordline CC1500 AC 15kV M 2400 002 A01' three-level IGBT traction converters, which sound significantly different when compared to the old traction equipment used on the first series (13SG01b), which resembled the sound of the BR 120. The second and third series (without 051) received IGBT traction converters starting in 2020 as well, replacing the old Siemens traction equipment with its famous scale. The second series received 'ABB Bordline CC1500 AC 15kV M 2400 002 A02', which do sound somewhat different. Less loud, less bass-heavy and overall more, well... boring one could say, hence I picked the first series.
Anyhow, have fun with this mod! I might end up crafting the second 2020 iteration as well, depending on how popular this mod will be. GTO sounds will follow for sure though!

Hört sich an wie Schnitzel schmeckt - Fantastisch.
Good job !
Excellent work!
Super Danke!
sounds like ice 1 enhancement pack, but BETTER!!!
Sorry but I think the sound was too much noise and low quality,
just like Im driving in heavy wind.
And the flange sound disappear suddenly after a track sharp turn,
Lower the motor sound and enhance the track sound may be improved ?
The flange sound isn't something I can adjust. Regarding the 'low quality', this is just not the case. Everything was recorded at 24 Bit / 96kHz and is implemented at 48kHz. Mixing is based on personal experiences with the real unit too. Keep in mind that they're very old and knackered, therefore tend to have loads of bass, vibrations and things moving. Please elaborate the 'heavy wind' statement though, can't quite get behind what you're trying to say with that
very good but the macrophone sound is a little weird
the pack gliteches out whenever i close the doors, for example the sound of the thrust lever or brake doesnt produce any sounds. does this happen to anybody else?
Weird, this didn't happen during testing. One person had similar issues, but they were resolved by a game restart, so I think addon manager is being weird...
hatte das problem auch ein paar mal, aber nach einem neustart ging es wieder, noch eine frage, wie sieht es aus mit dem 401 enhancement pack für den TSC? hätte echt mal bock son LDV durch die gegen zu fahren :)
Daraus wurde leider nichts mehr, aber dafür gibt es jetzt dieses Repaint-Pack: https://rail-sim.de/forum/filebase/entry/10240-rdf-3dzug-ice1-repaintpack/
Da ist auch der 30-Jahre-ICE dabei, der hat im Pack einen LDV-ähnlichen Fst :D
Danke dir für die schnelle Antwort, ja schade das daraus nichts wurde, ist noch irgendwas für 401 geplant? egalb ob TSC oder TSW? Achso und danke für diese geilen sound mods bis jetzt :)
yeah idk it glitches out randomly tbh
Sehr nice Soundmod mal wieder!
Ich finde, dass besonders die veränderten Fahrsounds bei Kurvenfahrten eine hohe Portion Realismus erzeugen.
Weiter so!
PS: Habe den Bug, dass manchmal die Sounds vom Fahr - und vom Bremshebel verschwinden.
Jaaa, da bist du scheinbar nicht alleine. Bei mir und vielen anderen funktioniert alles, hängt aber wohl mit dem Addon-Manager zusammen. Ich schau mir das mal an
Internal door sounds can be heard from afar when inside another vehicle (I was in a 101 like 2 tracks distanced to the 401 and could hear the internal door sounds of it), can you adjust the attentuation for that perhaps?

Sounds amazing. Thank you for making this mod!
ich hoffe ich stör nicht, aber wird noch das soundupdate für den 642 kommen? (:
Nein, leider nicht. Die Aufnahmen haben wir verloren und außerdem gab es ein paar Aufnahmen die wir nicht benutzen dürften (die wir mit dem update hinzufügen wollten). Der aktuelle Stand des Moddes ist final fürs erste.
Und wer weiß, vielleicht setzen wir uns eines Tages hin und machen die Mod neu. Nur kann ich jetzt nichts versprechen.
Ah ok
btw ich kann aktuell keine aufnahmen machen da ich mit ner anderen mod beschäftigt bin :)
