They are frequency shifted to match the wheel rotation speed, so the audible 'chuffs' within the loop maintain synchronisation with the drive bogie animation. They also vary in volume based on the regulator setting of the locomotive.

	This system enables sound files to be shared between locomotives with different wheel sizes. 60RPM (which is one revolution per second) on a 2 cylinder loco will produce four chuffs per second irrespective of the wheel size - the only difference this makes is what speed the train will be doing when the drive wheels are rotating at 60RPM.

			NOTE: For the sound to be directional, and fade in/out depending on distance, and for doppler to work correctly the sound files must be mono. If stereo files are provided, these functions will not work.
