what are some good ideas for synthesizing a really disonant, alarming kind of train horn? as can be heard on this track:


i'd love to hear some ideas, right now i'm considering playing around with some additive stuff but if there are any presets or samples that will get me close i'd love to find them. maybe FM? dunno.

Remember the name Foley.

(BEST, to my ears)
Chugging.. Pour Grazel into Cardboard Container..
Chugga... Shake the closed container rhythmically

or

Maracas... and Wooden Whistle... for a tiny train for Liliputians...

or

Mac and Cheese box shaken gently, with deep train whistle..
