Create: TrainSounds
by Jannik_ca
Create: TrainSounds gives Create trains engine audio that follows their real speed, with pitch, volume and sound profiles that change with the locomotive type.
What it does
The mod replaces the flat steam sounds of Create locomotives with engine audio that reacts to movement. Engines roar when a train accelerates, hum quietly while idling, and track the train's actual velocity through pitch and volume. Custom sound profiles are built for several engine types, including diesel and electric units, and electric sounds play only when a live connection is detected through the Pantographs & Wires addon, which adds a layer of realism on electrified lines.
The mod adds per-carriage toggling, so engines can be enabled or disabled on specific carriages and the soundscape of a train can be customized. An interactive 3D preview in the Create 6.0+ view train menu shows the model in a blueprint-style display, where the right mouse button rotates it and the scroll wheel zooms into details. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.1 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Installation needs Create, Create: Pantographs & Wires, Create: Steam 'n' Rails and Fabric API, so check that all four are present before the mod is loaded. Files exist for both loaders, and the latest build is 1.0.0-C6, dated 2026-04-28, on the alpha channel.
