Elevator Chime and Voice Compilation #2

[@RainerandRobert]

This is my favorite video I really like the elevator voice announcements at 4:34 I love the elevator voice announcements so much that I keep repeating it over and over again I love elevators

[@TristanGaming_564]

6:11 Jozef Dolinsky medium pitched chime?!

[@Alexdee96]

3:28 Common on EPL Kone’s. There are several in Melbourne that have or did have them; 530 Collins, 367 Collins and The Como Centre in South Yarra, just to name a few places.

[@TheDragonFire123]

In Queensland this chime seems to occur most at hospitals. Both the up and down chimes were filmed at hospitals (Wesley Hospital and PA Hospital, respectively). The PA Hospital also is a Kone, not EPL Kone.

Listening to some of these elevator chimes are creepy as heck. My old apartment just had a single tone chime in my elevator (like the one at 0:55), and the hum in the elevator was creepy as well. I've got mixed feelings of my old apartment even after being evicted in 2020 due to noise ordinance violations. The landlady there was a total biatch (especially after I got word that I was being evicted). Thank God I live in a new apartment in Medina, NY (my old one was in Albion).

[@TheDragonFire123]

Chimes using exactly one pitch is more common in the US indeed; in Australia, you're much more likely to find that the second pitch on the down chime to be lower. Pretty much the only manufacturer who did it as the US did was, perhaps unsurprisingly, Otis (the timestamped chime is an Otis Series 1 chime, but on an Otilec lantern; Otilec is a model exclusive to Australia); even then, into the 2000s they did chimes with different pitches.

[@TheDragonFire123]

Ridiculous. There is no raw sample of music in this video. And you're wrong about the recording device not being good; the A900 used for most chimes is about as good as it gets. As for buying such, for example ECD voice modules, most places won't sell you them unless you're an actual lift engineer working in Australia.

1:18 WAT WAS THAT!!!!!????????

[@TheDragonFire123]

A chime in its dying days.

[@seanluo8369]

Many of these chime once for up and twice for down like in the United States. Why?

[@TheDragonFire123]

Likely a DDA requirement (the equivalent of the ADA from the US). There are some odd ones out, such as ThyssenKrupp's three stage chime, but the majority of chimes in Australia do follow the one for up, two for down rule, though almost all second chimes will be lower pitch.

[@seanluo8369]

​@@TheDragonFire123 In both the US and AU, lifts have gotten away with breaking these rules. In the US, rule breaks tend to be complete silence, old elevators, defective chimes (1 up 3+ down), and 2 up 4 down. 3 note chimes may not be a big deal as long as up and down are made distinguishable to vision, hearing, and touch. IDLift3000's 10th or 11th chime compilation features a Thyssen that does 3 up 1 down (probably not in US or AU), which is an example of a rule break that's more confusing (due to switching). Low restrictions allow for more beautiful and interesting chimes to exist at the cost of up-down distinguishing (such as four tone). However, even rule following ones can sound good (like Mitsubishi's!). I just don't know if these rules are necessary or not! Btw, places I've heard Thyssen 3 tone: China and Mexico. I wonder how strict Mexico's lift regulations are since Mexico is in North America. Bonus off topic facts: In the US, all lift car buttons look the same (the left of each button has an unpressable label: white number/letter/star, black background, braille) except very old ones, which make me wonder when chime and button laws went into place there. Therefore, car stations in the US look way different from those in other countries. Sometimes the buttons themselves have extra info on them (alarm, door, rear, directory, etc.). I wonder if any other countries have these button rules. Other countries seem to have less regulated lift car buttons (no braille or braille on top of buttons, no labels). Europe, AU, etc. do often make the main floor buttons have green outlines and/or bulge out more than other buttons. Many lifts in Singapore look and sound the same: silver buttons with braille, detailed LED floor indicators with the same fonts (arrow and floor # big text, small text is served floors, block #, names, etc.), door beeping, possibly voices.

[@TheDragonFire123]

IMO, chimes in Australia are mostly compliant to the one-up, two-down rule, and it seems deviations are rarer than in the US. Classic examples are those that just chime the same way in both ways, such as Kone M/Novel Elements (except for the rare up chime). The classic United States look of buttons is a staple of the ADA, and a very unique direction to take. Though it works, I give them that much credit. In the US, if the buttons have anything written on them, it is never tactile (meaning it still feels indistinguishable to a blind person); technically, this means button writing is compliant, but tactile is not. In Australia, we have so-called Design requirements, which basically mandate braille and tactile on buttons (so the opposite of ADA-compliant buttons), as well as requiring a ring around buttons or otherwise no flush mount. The green button for FSAL (fire service exit level) isn't actually too common in Australia, since we don't strictly follow Europe requirements for lifts, but yes, that too is a Europe thing. Schindler 3300s and Oronas have gotten on board with this trend lately though.

[@seanluo8369]

@@TheDragonFire123 I wonder what bar button/elevator directory rules/laws are around the world. Only so much braille can go on elevator panels/fixtures.

[@TheDragonFire123]

Basically, if you needed a floor name with more than would fit on a US95 button, you're kinda screwed. Have to make sure it fits in three, I think.
