I actually don't NEED sound. I have to admit though that it is a vital part of the hobby for me. I spend more time and derive huge enjoyment from, the acquisition of, surgery, adjustment and loading of sounds.

I then run the lot all of a go (8) and the parakeets chime in. At 9 o'clock sharp I have to shut down or the environmental people bang on the door!!

Seriously though, I like sound but it is more the compilation and tweaking. If it gets too much I just select the loco and push the function button that switches it off.

Shuts the parakeets up as well.

I spend a great deal of time making sure that I don't get too much of that sibilant hissing. Usually, it is down to the speaker install.

I earnestly believe that most of the cost is developing and supporting software to run the decoders.
