"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? |

My Bismarck would sound like Johnny Horton

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? |

Just an extra piece of information: That particular sound is the collision alarm, sounded when expecting to ram, or be rammed, or...
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...

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.
sound Im talking about starts around 0:23 through :40 something
