	The ACS-64 locomotive features new sounds such as “Whoosh” and “station announcements” as well as new traction noises like “traction motor” and “traction motor gearbox." Listen for the whine of the traction motors as the ACS-64 takes off! As the locomotive climbs toward 125 MPH, the traction motors are drowned out as the noise from the gearbox hardware hums ever louder.		The ACS-64 locomotive features new sounds such as “Whoosh” and “station announcements” as well as new traction noises like “traction motor” and “traction motor gearbox." Listen for the whine of the traction motors as the ACS-64 takes off! As the locomotive climbs toward 125 MPH, the traction motors are drowned out as the noise from the gearbox hardware hums ever louder.

	Version 2 of the ACS-64 ~~supports an "automatic bell" in DCC mode. After the locomotive starts the bell will play until the DCC mode automatic bell cutout speed step is reached. Please refer~~ to ~~the [[Bachmann Spectrum SC-44 (Charger) - HO#CV Addendum (Indexed CV's)\|CV Addendum (Indexed CV's)]] section below for more information~~.		=== New Features in Version 2 ===
			Version 2 of the ACS-64 introduces a few new features, and makes improvements to some areas.

	~~The~~ ACS-64 includes a brand new ~~Emergency Brake air dump sound~~. ~~This sound~~ will ~~play if~~ a ~~user presses~~ the ~~Emergency Stop button on~~ their ~~throttle, if~~ the ~~Brake button~~ is ~~pressed 5 times in~~ a ~~row~~, ~~or if the decoder goes into emergency via~~ the "~~Crew Alert~~" ~~feature~~.		'''New Sounds'''

			Version 2 sound set of the ACS-64 adds:

			* One new Air Compressor type (total of 2)
			* Three new Horn types, including a quilled horn recording from SEPTA #905
			* New Brake squeal sounds
			* New Traction Motor sounds for high speed - now transitions between low-speed and high speed whine

			'''New Traction Motor Blower Behavior'''

			Version 2 of the ACS-64 includes a brand new traction motor blower sounds. The blowers now accurately portray their real-life behavior, with three distinct levels of operation - off, low, and high.

			If the locomotive is idle for a period of time, the traction motor blows will come on at the "low" level, then spin down after some time. After a short time while the locomotive is moving, the traction motor blowers will spin up to their "high" level and continue to play while the locomotive is moving. Several seconds after coming to a stop, the traction motors will "cool down" and the blowers will spin down.
