Roller Coaster Sounds: Explained

Apart from screaming guests left right and centre, the sounds experienced within a theme park are often dominated by one type of ride - Roller Coasters. Whether it’s the clank of the visitors climbing up to a great height, or the roar of a train as it navigates the track, roller coasters are known for being loud. Therefore, in this video, we’ll explore the various sounds you might hear from a roller coaster, including how the noise is made and why it actually occurs.

[@criticalfayle7509]

The roar of Nemesis always added to its theme for me. Especially since the queue is essentially through it and it goes under and over you. This is a monster trapped under the earth? Sure sounds like it.

[@coasterbot]

I couldn't agree more! :)

[@KimberleyW]

Oh my thats such a good one! I agree 100%

[@TheEpicWalrus]

The roar simulates Nemesis’s struggle to wriggle free of its metal restraints.

[@jamie_bean6545]

Its so intimidating because you can feel the ground shaking in the queue as it comes towards you.

[@me-myself-i787]

They will probably add sand during the retrack to make it quieter and appease the locals. It's a shame, really.

The clicking you hear when you start up Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.

[@CuteNoririn]

Taron's roar chills me everytime even when I'm not on the ride. Through it being located in a valley, the launch sound can be hear loud and far. I At the same time, I find it almost spooky when coasters are so quiet they only make a slight "swoosh", especially when no one is screaming. Feels like something is broken.

[@Chaoshero5567]

Flys testruns are creepy, because its so quiete, besides the brakes

[@kingposeidon4535]

I live in Florida, and I really enjoy the roars of the B&Ms here. Sheikra and Montu have great sounds, and Kumba and The Incredible Hulk sound even louder (by design I believe). SeaWorld's B&Ms are also great coasters, but they never stand out for their sounds. Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens also plays a whooshing sound effect during the magnetic launches, which seems unique as far as I'm aware. This isn't quite the same as the coaster sounds, but I like how you can hear people's screams echo on Rock n' Rollercoaster. It makes it sound as if there's another train going past you, despite there only being one train allowed at a time.

[@kylemarcy9619]

At cedar point the raptor has an amazing roar

[@HouseMD01994]

I love the launche sound of Cheetah Hunt, one of my favorite coaster in the US so far. Greetings from Berlin

I love the B&M roar, but there's just something about the sound Millennium Force makes on the final turn when it passes by the queue. And the little clank clank of the feed dogs on Gatekeeper when it goes through its inversions.

Can’t go wrong with the wooden coaster sounds as they rumble. I also like that roar of B&M coasters without sand in the tracks like Great Bear at Hershey.

My favourite rollercoaster sounds have to be Taron's launches.

Thank you for explaining. I always thought it was a chain clicking under the train as it pulled it up the hill. Sounded like it was under way too much tension and always put me off. It all makes sense now you explained it and I feel much safer now I know what it really is 👍

[@coasterbot]

No problem! I'm glad you feel safer now :)

[@andrewmiller1638]

For those who don’t want to watch the whole thing: The clanking is the sound of the Anti-Rollback Device

[@supersaiyantravis6962]

Personally, I just love the sounds of the chain lifts on the old arrow and vekoma coasters. They're just... so satisfying.

It was just a nice shot of a big lift hill! ;)

[@kennethwilliams6916]

B&Ms coasters make a heavenly choir sound to my ears although the roar from coasters such as the smiler is also great!

[@oliverturner1649]

The B&M roar is probably my favourite coaster sound. Though I've never thought roar was the right word. To me it's more of an aggressive sigh. That's the sound of a good ride.

[@julyreverie]

i love how each ride sounds so specific. i feel like i could identify every roller coaster at sf magic mountain (my home park) just based on their sound

[@TonyFilms335]

I love roller coaster sounds. I love the sound of the roller coaster vehicle leaving the station with its “tsssssss” sound as it slowly clatters away. Along with the smells of the ride. (I think I have a problem)

The majority of the coasters at my home park don't have that hiss as the train leaves the station (sadly).

My favorite roller coaster sounds have to be the Arrow chain lift, the wooden coaster chainlifts (especially PTC and GCI) , and also RMC! I also really like the LSM launches too! :)

[@josemartin6783]

My favorite roller coaster sound by far is a b and m roar, especially raptor’s at cedar point when u are walking down the midway

[@Tribenix]

You forgot the jet engine roar of a compressed air launch.

[@rollercoasterstef8180]

I love the sound of a arrow roller coasters lift

[@MondoCoasters]

There's no sound quite like an Arrow lift.

[@jadesmediacorner]

i absolutely LOVE the sound of older B&M inverted coasters. they have such a crazy roar to them that can only be matched by B&M floorless coasters. i also adore the sound Superman: Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain makes as it goes up the spike. its so loud and intimidating, i love it so much.

[@MRetoastet]

To me any fairly recent B&M sound smooth and quiet. Just like you're floating on a cloud through the track. On the other hand... I don't say no to an earbashing woodie =)

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Great video Harry , really enjoyed this one .👌🏼My favourite has a special birthday on Tuesday........ Happy Birthday Nemesis, THE best sounding coaster . It has that unmistakable B&m roar but being in a huge crater its sound is enhanced so much more .... as if the beast is alive 👌🏼🧱👍🏼

[@coasterbot]

Thank you very much! Nemesis does sound fantastic, I couldn't agree more! :)

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

👌🏼👍🏽

[@MondoCoasters]

One interesting thing you haven't mentioned about the hydraulic launches is the high pitched "pssssst" sound the emergency brakes make when they're released just before the launch. I thought it was one of the more defining aspects of the coaster type.

[@coasterbot]

That whole sound can be extended to brakes in general, you can hear it at different locations on rides! :)

[@MondoCoasters]

Heh, true. Now that I think about it, that comment was a bit oddly specific.

[@YurBoiCarson]

My favorite sound is Xcelerator at Knott’s launch, I love the noise of the brake fins and the cables and the noise it makes when it shoots up the top hat, there is a restroom under its top hat so when the train launches the stalls shake

[@bcfcbeast-jw]

I worked at Phantasialand for 6 weeks this summer and heard a lot of sounds there. My two favorites are: The roar of Black Mamba (which is not very loud (its filled with sand), but sounds great, like a purring kitten) and the launch of Taron (especially with the music swelling, then cutting off and the cranking/clicking sound effect they play just before you launch).

Colossus at thorpe park holds that iconic sound of the clacks sounding like a rolling 'r' when it reaches the top of the lift hill

[@SirDella]

I love the sounds the vekoma boomerang makes, so much mechanisms

[@billkeithchannel]

When the _Mean Streak_ ( rebuilt as _Steel Vengeance_ ) first opened, the wheels were designed to produce a noise that sounded like a jet plane going by. But these wheels did not age well and helped give a rough ride. Once the wheels were replaced with standard wheels, the ride was quieter but then the track itself started to warp producing and even rougher ride.

[@maeioup]

Favourite sound, by far, is specifically the sound of the hollow square tracks. I love the noise Nemesis makes as it swoops through the valley

[@coasterbot]

I couldn't agree more!

[@spence818]

The Incredible Hulk coaster over here in Universal Orlando is definitely my favorite sounding coaster. The roar of The Hulk followed by the roar of the coaster spitting out of the launch tube is so iconic!

[@coasterbot]

I'd love to experience it for myself one day! :)

[@GreenCommodore]

My favourite sounding coaster is Nemesis at Alton Towers as it has this kind of eerie roar. It's as if the Nemesis monster is screaming in pain as you joy ride over him. Also I love the release of air from the pistons in the brake run.

The Nemesis roar is fantastic! :)
