Hi

I'm not quite sue if this is the right place but any info would be helpful.

Could anyone here please provide me with a circuit diagram for a soundboard
which plays the submarine diving noise? I'll need a complete list of
everything in simple language due to be being new at this.

Thanks

The sounds are in sound files played by the system and over the
soundboard. Sounds are not generally embedded in the soundboard itself.

If you have a "multimedia computer" you already have everything you need
except the sound file. A google search produces this one which sounds
pretty damned good to me (I did 26 years in the Navy):

http://www.dod.gov/multimedia/audio/wwiisubdive.wav

If you double click that link, it should offer to play and/or save the
sound file. Save it to directory c:\winnt\media or c:\windows\media
(where all your other system sound files are) and you can associate with
system events. Go to sounds in the control panel to do that.

I use the following sound to announce the arrival of new email:

http://www.qsl.net/bb62/sounds/4bells.wav

Maybe you had to be there to get it, but when the Skipper of a ship
arrives or departs, the word is passed over the 1MC and the announcement
is preceded by 4 bells. At least it used to be that way and the common
joke was that it was done to keep him from sneaking up on anyone.

Are you a bubblehead?

Good luck,

Jack

Radio Shack sells a neat little digital recorder/player about the size
of a large postage stamp that will record and replay the diving alarm
that Jack sent you ...

Too bad the old klaxon officially retired with the end of the Poseidon
Missile boats. Fast Attacks and the new boomers have long gone to the awful
screeching sound referenced above. Both were poor recordings btw, but I
couldn't find a better one for either case. Unless you're willing to pay for
it, then there were websites that sell the old aaahh-UUUU-gaaahh horn
sounds.

Since you have some interest in this kind of thing, take a look on my
website:

http://www.worldwidewiley.com/

at cpOnWatch. It's a software implementation of a watchtimer, but you
probably don't care about that. It's got 8 navy-related sound files,
2 of which may be identical to yours. I got them in various places on
the net, so I make no claims on them, copyright or otherwise. The
program itself is freeware and the soundfiles are in a directory where
you can find them easily after install. My favorite is the GQ call.

I was not a skimmer puke, I was a spook. And a NQP.

One of the joys of being a spook was being able to sample life in many
different areas of the Navy. It gave you a chance to experience hours
of boredom and moments of terror in many different environments. :)

Back to the subject, Himszy is looking for something like this:

http://www.electrokits.com/electroni...io-sound/9.htm

I'm thinking that there is something out there that will meet his needs
with minor mods. Something with a EPROM on it could store a lot of
different sounds.

Then he could add sounds like that sultry bitch that used to babble
about the high water in the bilges and other alarming situations on the
Seawolf.

I will verify Jack Erbes was a dit-happy spook. We crossed paths years ago.
I was in the fix-it side of the spook field. When guys like Jack spilled
coffee or coke into the equipment (teletype machines were their favorite it
seemed), and the device failed to function normally after this kind of bath,
they would yell "Mat man" for a repair guy. Mat really was short a
"material" man, but I always found it was followed by the phrase "something
is the matter...". Repeat offenders were usually threatened with an "op aid"
aka hammer rap to the fingers.

Sentiment aside, I would think that a klaxon or other harsh tone would be a
rather dumb thing to create intentionally, considering how much effort goes
into minimizing a sub's acoustic signature.

Ed, Sound silencing aside, waking almost 2/3 of the crew with an
immediate-recognition sound when seconds count for saving or fighting the
ship, there is no better alternative. In relation to the sound of the steam
plant and ballast tanks, the alarms are rather insignificant. A signature is
another matter altogether, allowing specific classes and even individual
platforms to be recognized from unique emissions.
