Similarities bet SG train sounds and others
-
I meant the similarities between Singapore's Train's Sounds and other countries' trains' sounds. I found a few:
C651 = R160B Siemens in New York Subway
C151 = 03 series in Japan's Hibiya Line
C751B = Malaysia's Kelana Jaya Line
C751A = London's 1996 stock (the beginning of the departing sound)

the 1996 Stock are bound to sound a bit similar to the C751A that we are having, cuz some of them are built by Alstom.

How can C715B sound like Kelana Jaya Line? :( Nothing in Singapore comes close... C751B sounds more like E231 (Suburban Type). Crystal Mover sounds more like E231 (Commuter Type). Both are IGBT-VVVF motors.

C751B motors sound rather unique because they are built by Fuji Electric. In Japan, most proplusion systems are provided by Mitsubishi Electric or Hitachi. (http://www.fujielectric.co.jp/company/jihou_archives/pdf/73-01/FEJ-73-01-044-2000.pdf)
C151 motors were supplied by Mitsubishi Electric (GTO-Chopper ver.). Some 03 series also had Mitsubishi Electric motors fitted, so they will sound similiar.
C651 motors are probably supplied by Siemens in-house as well. They are similiar to the Keikyu 2100 series, minus the modulation (the "do-re-mi-fa-so" that 2100 gives out)
Surely Mitsubishi Electric would want to fit the Crystal Movers with their in-house motors.

Crystal Mover = toei mita line 6300 (IGBT VVVF)

C751As would sound more similar to the X'trapolis used by Connex Melbourne, while C751Bs would sound more like the MTR K stock trains.

Add In...
C651s would sound more like Daegu Metro line 1 trains (Korea):

i don't know sia. worse than squeeking.
audio clip of it -
The C651s sound a lil bit similar with their Siemens Taipei counterparts, except Taipei's has a longer "whine" at the end before stopping and the "sharp" sound of the doors closing.
Just my opinion.

C751Bs have 750V Mistubishi IGBT-VVVF propulsion.
