I have an odd question for my swiss readers: Do you know where I can get an mp3 of that SBB jingle that plays at train stations right before a train arrives or they say an announcement over the intercom? I spent quite some time searching online but came up empty handed.
hi tina, i made a similar search last year for the electronic sound that used to be played over the intercom at charles de gaulle airport, and finally found it on a french electronic music website. unfortunately, i did not see anything related to the sbb on the site.

I searched on http://www.freesound.org and on other site, but I didn’t find anything. Should I record this sound on my phone and send you a mp3? I’ll do without that problem, just tell me.

It’s not a question for Swiss readers only in the days of internet ;-) I am Dutch and love this ringtone as much as I love Switzerland because of it’s design, it’s mountains and last but not least it’s wonderful and efficient public transport. So here is where you can find the mp3 http://schweizweit.net/2007/09/03/sbb-ton-downloaden/.

Tina,
It’s amazing how much that one small sound makes me miss Switzerland so much! All of your photos made me want to pack my house and make the leap!
Also, I never realized the tones were different for the French, German, and Italian parts – how Swiss of them!

I actually have the combination of the three tones (no, not cut together from the samples, but the original from the SBB). Schrib nume we se möchtsch… It is a lot of fun sitting in a train, having your cell phone on “loud” and receiving an SMS with this tone, everybody in the car is confused because there’s only the tone but no announcement ;)

Hello
Does anybody here have these jingles and is willing to send them to me? Sadly, on the page mentioned above they now charge money for it…
