Sounds

Creating station announcements

A recommended workflow for realistic station announcements:

1. Generate speech with a text-to-speech tool

Use a free tool like luvvoice.comarrow-up-right:

  • Language: German (Germany), Voice: Amala (Female)

  • Settings: Rate +5% / Pitch -15%

  • Example phrases:

    • "Auf Gleis ... bitte Vorsicht bei der Einfahrt"

    • "Achtung am Gleis .... Ein Zug fährt durch"

    • "Meine Damen und Herren an Gleis ... Bitte steigen sie ein. Vorsicht an den Türen und bei Abfahrt des Zuges"

  • Download as MP3

2. Edit with Audacity (free)

  • Delete silence and text breaks

  • Effect - EQ and Filters - Bass and Treble: Bass -30 / Treble +5

  • Effect - Delay and Reverb - Reverb: Defaults

  • Effect - Delay and Reverb - Echo: 0.1 / 0.5

  • Insert a station gong at the beginning of the file

  • File - Export audio - MP3 default settings

Using sounds in scripts

Add a Play sound action to any automation script. You can choose whether the script waits for the sound to finish before continuing, or plays it in the background while the next action executes immediately.
