Well, how many?

so you know how in English, the rooster says cockadoodle doo, but in Spanish it’s kikiriki?

Does a train make different sounds in other countries? What a stupid American question to ask.

    I typically do 8 but I do think DirtyPair's rendition is proper. According to a mentalfloss article (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/51996/12-onomatopoeias-around-world) in Korea they say chik chik pok pok, for the clackity sound on the tracks. I read 'chuff' in British English for the train steam sound but I'm not sure it's used onomatopoeiatically.
