We use MP3 sound files for the Bell & Horn on our Urbos 3 Trams.... hope that helps!

So does that mean you could replace the normal bell sound with something more... festive?

Ssssh! Don't give them any silly ideas
I remember the Dublin trams having two different bell sounds, a tinkle (like hitting a windchime) as a gentle warning [hello there] and a gong for getting people out of the way [xxxx off].
Do any of the UK systems have a similar system?
It seems a bit wrong that the Edinburgh trams have only one bell that needs to be sounded more often than would seem necessary (such as when leaving a stop with good visibility and nobody anywhere nearby).
I don't know about the M-5000s but the old Manchester T-68s had a soft horn which was used in the street running areas and a honking loud horn used on the old heavy rail sectors or on the street running system when a car driver did something particularly stupid in front of a tram.
M5000s are the same, we have a whistle for the street (actually an MP3 recording of a t68 whistle) and a horn for segregated sections. Much more effective than a bell.

Wonder whether the "Supertram-trains" have a digital sound, or a physical bell like the existing trams. I imagine that they'll have a physical horn owing to them running on the National Rail network.
