HI,

 

you need to change CV 63 which controls the volume of the sound.

 

The 20 will probably hav the value of cv 63 around the 60 - 64 value.

 

If you change it to 30 it will reduce the noise by half.

 

hope this helps

cheers

Using CV 63 you can adjust the volume from 1 to 64.

I find the CLass 20 about right at 20 ish.

It will depend on your DCC set up as to how you access your CV settings, let us know and we can give pointers if required.

Hi,

 

you best bet would be to take your loco to a shop that has a DCC fitting service and ask them to do it or if you know someone with a dcc system that can program and ask them to do it.

 

As you can't do it on the controller you have.

Hi,

 

there are a few, NCE pwoer cab and Bachmann Dynamis to name two.

 

The best thing i would recomemnd to do is

 

1)see if there is a shop near you that has some DCC controlers to play with

 

2)or go to show and see if there is a DCC demo or a trader selling units and have a play with them

 

As what DCC unit to use is down to personal choice and what you like the feel of as you will be the one using it in the long run.

 

cheers
