So, as simple as what title suggests.
I am here to suggest adding a warning sound when your train is at derail risk. The current derail warning is just a single line on the right bottom corner of the screen. I think it could be more realistic and useful by adding a warning sound when you are at derail risk.
Therefore, I pick this special warning sound which is actually in use by JR Central, 313 Series when the train is at Overspeed.
Shorter / Default version of the warning sound: https://soundcloud.com/xgreatben/atscnt
Longer / Repeated version of the warning sound: https://soundcloud.com/xgreatben/atscrtlong
I believed that this could help train drivers more aware of their speed and their derail risk. Also, it could bring some roleplay as well.
This warning sound should be repeated until derail risk was excluded. (Vehicle Slowed down)
Thanks.

The biggest warning of the derail threat is that your screen will start shaking. I'm astounded as to how you could have possibly missed that.

Screen shakes at 150KPH. while Derail threat warning starts at 130 KPH.
When the screen shakes, it'll be very close to the final moment of the derail.
On the other hand, sounds are always more useful than the image.
-
Positive Because as you said the screen as you said starts shaking at 150 Kph I think the warning on the side of the screen isn't enough to draw my attention if there is an issue.
-
I support you with this since what you said is true: "...sounds are always more useful than the image." Besides, the written warning isn't notorious enough... so a sound would be perfect for this case. Positive :tick:

I'm Positive vote
As I can see the written warning isn't notorious enough, the screen as u said starts shaking at 150KpH I think it isn't enough, to draw my attention as well,also sounds are useful than the image.
-
That makes sense, I have heard the sounds they are really great sounds and exactly as you said, It gives more Roleplay to this job, It does need more improvements and I guess that was one of those improvements to the Train Driver job, It wasn't something necessary but I changed my opinion when I heard the sound, It forces the player to slow down his train speed.. I would like to support your suggestion.
-
Sounds lit to me. Screen shaking plus alert alarm would be amazing. Positive.

Yeah, noticed it also that the current system of the alarm on 'Derail' is kinda not noticeable.
Alert Alarm plus Screen shaking is totally noticeable, yeah that's help players get aware of getting derail.
Positive.

well, when we reach the speed limit, the screen shakes, but if a warning sound is added, it helps players and adds a little more reality to the game. Positive.
-
This suggestion sound great because when someone reached the speed limit and this sound will make the player(s) pay more attention on his speed. Positive
-
Theres already featurw about that the train will start to shake , but why not it don't be added
Positive
-
If people get distracted with so many things, this one will surely reassure us to notify that we're getting a warning sign. Players often not paying attention to their speed (at least to some) and they only notice the speed when they are about to get derailed when their train is shaking. :tick:
-
a warning sign isnt a big deal at all, but yeah will improve the job a lil bit nd make it look more realistic I personally wd love such addition to make me notice that I reached the speed limit, positive.
-
This make sense to me, I played train driver before but tbh I was a bit confuse of the shaking thingy so I just press my "W" and ignore it, and then suddenly I fall from the railings, well In my point one warning is fine but two warnings will let them stop and slow down and the good thing is its a sound which you can notice easily. upvoting this.
-
As I read your suggests I think its very useful for newbies who are working in Train Driver job and they really dont know how to drive carefully and no derail. The newbie asked us in team chat what is the best job to get money and we always answer them another job also Train Driver job. Then they did it and it was derail by getting fast. It will be better if there are warning sounds this greatben suggested in this post. They (newbies) will know how to drive with no derail. teach them dont drive more than ? speed is not enough. I think this one should be add. Positive from me
-
Well,i remember that i've seen this suggestion before but dunno when exactly.So,i think that this feature will be useful a lot because players nowadays doesn't take care about the yellow warning in the screen so I think making a sound will solve this prob and make it a lil bit more realistic.
Thus,I'm Supporting.
-
This will be useful and make it more realistic. Im positive with this suggestion. There should be a sound just before speed control spots. Because I sometimes be really preoccupied and forget about it so I lose money while doing that job.
-
Gonna go positive.
To be honest, with the Streak or Tram, I kinda get caught off guard (like checking some stuff in F7, talking with people, etc) and I completely forget about how fast I'm going. Having some sort of beep sound wouldn't be too bad and it could help the player to remind them to slow down instead of having a message at the bottom corner of their screen. Also, it is kinda hard to notice the shaking screen since the camera is kinda far from the train's radius.

@xGreatben
Do you have any other sound cloud files that I could use that would fit better? I added your current ones and tested them but the sound is really annoying when it gets repeated over and over until you're not in derailing danger anymore.

Here's some tracks that can be used. All of them are being used on the different railway in the world as well.
