Decoder to use in N scale PRR S2 turbine

[propmeup1]

Ok I need some input from the decoder brains out there. First off I'm a builder and scratchbuilder. There isn't too much I can make but, saying that I have little ability with computers.  Just enough to get by and type this. I can wire and rig etc but I can't program crap.
    So I need to know who can do me a sound decoder to put in my N scale PRR turbine that will sound like it should ?

I've fooled around with my existing decoders by setting the chuff sound to zero and raising the dynamo and other steam sound up a lot but it just doesn't do what it should.

Help i need a steam turbine sound.  Thank you in advance.

Maybe the engine sound used in the Rapido Turbo Train?  It is an ESU decoder. Or the Scale TRAINS "Big Blow" turbines?  Again, ESU decoder.  Those both sound like airplane engines (because those engines were similar to what  is used in airplanes).

Are there any audio/video recordings of what those engines sounded like?  Or anybody still alive who could tell us what those sounded like? If yes, you could use that sound and make your own sound project.

Just had a quick look on ESU sites and found a couple of steam turbine sound files.  Well they are the same but one for v4 and the other for V5.
You can listen to them on your computer.

Hummm, that's a start with the ESU.  I have Scale Trains Turbine and from what the old UP guys have told me the turbines didn't really whine up like a modern jet engine. They were very loud and roared but not that high pitch like the Scale Trains even though I do like it.
     I'll have to listen to the Rapido turbine but then I don't want to get one and strip it just for the decoder. I may look more into the ESU steam turbine now,
Thank you

I thought that Scale Trains UP turbine sound was sampled from the original recordings.  There is probably a low-frequency roar there too, but the tiny N-scale size speakers do not reproduce it. 

ESU decoders are fully programmable. If you were able to ask either company to provide you with the sound project they used in those decoders, you could then upload it to your sound decoder. If you don't have ESU LokProgrammer hardware (that can handle sound uploads) you could ask one of the guys here with a LokProgrammer to upload it for you onto your decoder.

There are both generic GTEL and the specific ScaleTrains A and B unit Museum Quality sound files on the ESU website for loading to LS 5 decoders. Most of the Rápido files are, unfortunately, proprietary to them. There are also some European turbine trains available. Don’t know how close any of them are to the subject train.

Mr. Peteski, I like your idea of having someone who can download and or make a sound file for me.  As I said, I have no experience at this other then purchasing a sound decoder and installing it in DCC friendly engines. I'm the mechanical type,  computers are not my thing at all.
    So saying that how do I find someone here that would be willing to take on that job of setting up a decoder for myself so all I would need to do send the money for the decoder and job plus postage and have it shipped to me so I can install it.
    I'm sure there is someone here that can do that. Am I looking in the wrong department of the site.  I don't have a decoder programmer or what ever that was you suggested. I'm at the mercy for my fellow railroaders.

There are few custom installers of DCC here on the forum - hopefully they will chime in and offer their services.
