Sound Jingle of the French SNCF Trains

Gare du Nord

Did you know the French SNCF trains have their own specialized sounds?

If you’ve spent any time traveling around France by train, you’ll recognize this little jingle:

The SNCF even created its own little techno song using the jingle:

And the British singer David Gilmore incorporated the jungle into his song Rattle that Lock from the 2015 album of the same name (the video is pretty cool, too):

Anyone know of creative ways the SNCF jingle has been incorporated into songs?
