Train melody information


A train melody is a succession of musically expressive tones played when a train is arriving at or about to depart from a train station.[1] In Japan, departing train melodies are arranged to invoke a feeling of relief in a train passenger after sitting down and moving with the departing train.[1] In contrast, arriving train melodies are configured to cause alertness, such as to help travelers shake off sleepiness experienced by morning commuters.[1]

Metro systems in several cities, including Budapest,[2] Tokyo, Osaka, and Seoul mark train arrivals and departures with short melodies or jingles.
