Re: Steam Locomotive Whistles with NS3
You can capture your own samples on a PC with a free software program called Audacity.
Here’s a how-to post from a while back.

Re: Steam Locomotive Whistles with NS3
There are lots of samples in the internet. For example:
https://www.soundsnap.com/tags/train_whistle
https://www.salamisound.com/steam-locom ... tle-sounds
Typically they have a dissonant interval.

Re: Steam Locomotive Whistles with NS3
What exactly is "not realistic"? Are you creating one from scratch on the synth, or are you loading a sample into the synth? If the latter: Does it sound different from the actual sample when you play it on the computer?
If you weren't using a sample, that's the way to go:
1. find a good sample ( start here: https://freesound.org/search/?q=train+whistle )
2. convert the sample to Nord sample format using the Nord Sample Editor
3. load the sample onto your Stage
4. set up a new program and set the synth to use the sample as a sound source.
