When making the sound for a train, how many “chugga” before the “choo”?

4

2 chugga.

Two chuggas and two choo choos

You guys are stingy. The choos deserve at least four chuggas!

I’m with @canidmajor. At least four, but definitely an even number.

Well, you take the 2nd Choo and stretch it waaaaaay out and it kind of means the same thing @canidmajor. Also sounds like you’re diving into a tunnel. Or falling off a bridge.

6 chuggas
1 choo choos
4 chuggas
2 choo choos

As many as it takes to reach the dramatic point where the choo choo has to come in. Timing required for drama, suspense.

Wait, is “choo choo” the whistle sound in your rendition or just the train sound?

I agree, it must be an even number, because they have different tones and stresses:
chugga chugga chugga chugga . . .

Choo Choo is the whistle. Chugga is the pistons running the wheels.

2 chuggas and 2 choos.

I will be singing the little song all night, now.

4 or 8 chuggas before the (2) choos.

Or possibly none (or two, if not much steam has yet been built up).

Definitely 8 chuggas and 2 choos with the second one drawn out.

believe it or not, this has been asked before LOL

Chugga chugga choo choo

I always use multiples of four, usually eight to start with.

Chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choooooooooo

Chugga Chugga Choo choooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

LOL >8^D

I don’t know about ya’ll but that O’s are just flying off the screen, not showing up as a paragraph

@raum @ 2 chuggas then 2 choos.

Chugga chugga choo choo

The engine noise is too easy. I concentrate more on the whistle.

When you do it right it sounds like moaning.

The whistle I mean…

It appears we all agree it’s 2 choos.

Well . . . it IS two choos!

. . .

After all, it’s a choo choo train, not a choo train!

Chugga Choo

I don’t know about a song. I’m just talking train noises. And if the choo is the whistle, well, to me that was always “WoooWoooooo!” No ch in that sound. Choochoo is the generic name for the train. Choochoo train, to be precise.

@SergeantQueen, you didn’t give your ooooooooo’s a word break, let alone a paragraph break, so they had no choice but to run off the screen. They’ve gone round the bend now and are on their way to Chicago.

As long as it gets the job done, take as many as “chugga” before “choo” as you can.

Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo That’s eight chuggas and two choos and assumes a slight incline.

Four chuggas, two choo choos, standard American train sounds.

This thread has gone off the rails.

Sheldon had no chuggas and one whoo whoo

I do 4 chuggas to a choo choo. I can do it on a harmonica. It sounds great!

Not me

chugga chugga choo choo

I haven’t read all answers, so maybe this has already been written (multiple times), but I say 2074 chuggas, and then 1 choo.
Repeat (with 1 choo again).
Repeat (2 choos).

@rebbel Dutch trains must be weird!!

They’re very long, and the driver doesn’t want to waste too many choos.

^^ Such a sensible country! I’d move there but I’d be afraid to be run over by the bicycles!

12 chuggas and a whoowhoooo.

According to Little Baby Bum it’s Chugga chugga Choo Choo

But, according to Miss Patty it’s either 3 or 4 chuggas with 2 choos

@Hawaii_Jake even the experts agree that it’s 2 choos ;]

Pardon me Jellies, but is this the Chatanoonga Choo Choo?

^^^^Thread 29, oh won’t you give me a shine?

ALL ABOARD!!!!!

Why should we leave out trolleys that go “clang, clang, clang”?

Chug Chug Chug
Thump Thump Thump
Bump Bump Bump
Zing Zing Zing

The real sound is clickety clack…..

Hear the whistle blow…
