sound clip of JR announcement music

Hi guys, I love hear the announcement music of JR in Tokyo, I hope you know what I mean about the music. I want to use it as ringtone. So I want the .wav or mp3 format.

thanks

Jordan,

The site below is in Japanese, but has loads of recordings in WAV/MP3 format from in and around Tokyo. Select the particular line and then click on the station to hear the jingle.

Wow, thank you very much dave for the reply. The site rocks! thanks again

You could also try the Sound of Station web site:

Several of the mp3 links are dead but most of the Yamanote line is still there. These are actual recordings done on the station, along with annoucements in many cases.

Thanks Rob. wow, I can't believe it have such a lot of sound clip!

I never found anything before I ask in this forum.

That's really amazing! I was looking for this kinda clip for such a long time, and I never could find any.

This announcements remind me when I used to travel on Yamanote-sen... great feeling.

takadanobaba... best... music... EVER!

Hi I am impressed with the music for jr train stns ! The subway music is nice too. anyone knows the website. Thanks a bunch !

The subway music is nice too. anyone knows the website.

Do subways in Tokyo have platform jingles, too? I thought they only have some beeps, if at all.

hee hee Guess I remember wrongly ... Should the sound of the traffic light like the ones in Osaka. Do you have the website ? I will like to have it as a sound clip. Thanks !

Those sites were excellent. Tell me, if I wanted to use one of the station sounds as a ringtone on my cell, how exactly would I do this? I would love to have this on my phone and PDA.
Thanks!

I just transfer the file to my SD card and put it in my ringtone folder my phone. Did your phone have memory card slot? but I think PDA for sure have it.

Jordan, I do not have a memory card slot on my phone. My phone is one year old but unfortunately, in the US, memory card slot phones are just available. But, I do have a PDA so I can download it there.
Thanks!

use your phone's voice recorder held close to your computer, then set it as a ringtone.It comes out a bit distorted & not too loud on mine....but at least it's there!

Phone sounds,

I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know how it sounds. Thanks for the advice.

Hello everyone! I'm also highly interested in sounds from JR and Yamanote lines, but especially about the announcements inside the train (like "the next sation is..."). Unfortunately the websites you mentionned don't provide such announcements. Do you have an idea where i can find them? Many thanks!

Speaking of sounds of Japan:
would you happen to know where I can find the kouhou type sounds on the speakers in the countryside, hear it in hospitals, train stations, and the
cool sound that you hear that is supposed to help blind people?
The bell sound you hear at Tokyo Narita Airport's immigration area is cool, and wondering if that can be found in a WAV format? Airports in general in Japan have cool sounds!
Thank you

The lengthened chime sound you used to hear on the elevator up the Nagoya TV Tower, and the same sound heard at the final stop on the bus to the train station.
The sound you hear up the elevator at night on Tokyo Tower
The loud speaker sound you hear at Tokyo Station
And the chime you hear at the hospital
To name a few
Thank you

You got it
