Doors Closing ringtone from the Montreal Metro (Free Download)
Dou-dou-dou!
In October 2011 I moved to Montreal, Canada and within days I had fallen in love with STM*. That’s right, the Société de transport de Montréal! A few months later the STM introduced an audio signal to announce the closing of metro train doors – a feature standard on many subway systems but something new to the Montreal Metro system.
When I first heard the new signal (a reproduction of the sound made by MR-73 train’s power converter as the train leaves the station) last week I decided that it would make a great SMS ringtone for my iPhone.
As they say in Montreal**, il fait beau dans l’métro!

If anything, the analogue sounds from those 7o’s era metro cars are disappearing as the STM orders new cars incrementally until the complete takeover by brand new metro cars next year. this metro sound has been around since the birth of the Montreal metro, you were probably just lucky enough to be traveling in an ancient metro car!

Sweet ringtone, but they’ve had this departure sound for as long as I can remember, its far from being 4 months new. I even remember noticing it as an infant.
