Ice cream van with sound

[Shroomy]

Just thought I would show my little idea
I wanted to put an ice cream sound in the van
Oxford die cast 1/76
Speaker is LS10X15H SPEAKER 10X15 8OHMS

these are the boards i used @0.99phttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MP3-Format-U-Disk-TF-Card-decoder-board-module-amplifier-decoding-audio-Player-/253061372875?epid=795143709&hash=item3aeba21bcb:g:FP8AAOSwIcdZdfnW
I am so amazed at how small these speakers are
Will update tomorrow hopefully finish wiring and installation of MP3 file
First pic is with speaker fitted

Summary of the Code of Practice on Noise from Ice-Cream Van Chimes Etc. in England 2013

 

It is an offence to sound your chimes before 12.00 noon or after 7.00 pm. It is also an offence to sound your chimes at any time in such a way as to give reasonable cause for annoyance. A code of practice approved by the Government gives guidance on methods of minimising annoyance caused by your chimes. The main points of the code of practice are:

 

Do not sound chimes

1. for longer than 12 seconds at a time;

2. more often than once every 2 minutes;

3. more than once when the vehicle is stationary at a selling point;

4. except on approach to or at a selling point;

5. when in sight of another vehicle which is trading;

6. when within 50 metres of schools (during school hours), hospitals, and places of worship (on Sundays and other recognised day of worship);

7. more often than once every 2 hours in the same length of street;

8. louder than LAmax 80dB at 7.5 metres;

9. as loudly in areas of low background noise or narrow streets as elsewhere.

 

REMEMBER: It is an offence to sound your chimes before 12.00 noon or after 7.00 pm.

It is an offence to sound your chimes at any time in a way which gives reasonable cause for annoyance.

There used to be some lads in Rotherham that fitted ice cream van chimes to a mk2 escort rally car!

Was surreal to see it flat out through kielder forest being accompanied by if you go down in the woods today....

I thought this thread was about sound fitting to 25322 'Tamworth Castle'

Alas back to the drawing board mismatch with speaker and MP3 player resulted in very very quiet ice cream chimes

Will update tomorrow with new speaker

Here is the escort playing Greensleeves but not very loud

Ok it turned out to be a faulty board

So it now lives

What's the board? I don't want an ice cream van, but it looks useful for other sounds.

[Shroomy]

think the next project will be pub sounds

I have run it of a 12v-5volt stepper

the unit runs on 5v

Thanks. 5v is no problem, as I'm working on radio control, and systems for my layout, using Arduinos, so pretty much everything I'm doing is around 5v.
