"Sound" research for my scale Bismarck
Hi,
I thought this might be a good place to ask a couple of "sound" questions about the KMS Bismarck. I'm working on a functioning model of the battleship right now, and I've acquired some parts to make a sound module for the vessel. I was going to definitely model the sounds of the 15" guns, and possibly a mix of the secondary armament/AA guns. Beyond that, I'm not sure what other scale sounds the ship would make. I thought about engine sounds, but I doubt you could actually hear that. I saw something from a crewmember of the ship that said he couldn't even hear the engines from his post a couple of decks away. So, anything else I could model? Would it make any sense to model a fog horn or bell sound? Did the Kriegsmarine use an audible "general quarters" alarm or anything that could be heard from a scale distance away, or should I just stick to gun sounds? |
HELLS BELLS...a siren and a loudspeaker

My Bismarck would sound like Johnny Horton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KecIdlEAKhU

Do you think that bell/alarms sounds would resonate outside the ship, or something that wouldn't really carry past the interior halls/rooms and the AA gunners. I just wonder if that would be something that would be heard a few scale feet away? I know in movies you always hear that "whoop whoop" naval alarm, and Silent Hunter's ships can be heard from a distance during an attack, but I wonder how real that is.
Anyone know what kind of sound the Kriegsmarine used for an alarm? |

One lovely day our destroyer was having a towing practice, we were setting up to tow another DD, and they sounded the collision alarm, you know, just in case... http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...psusis1lek.jpg |
the drone and whine of powerful fan motors and air rushing through exhaust and intake vents. if its like other ships it probably had lots of them. When I think about it was probably the most prevelant, common sound I heard when I was milling about the weatherdecks.
