"Terminal 1 is a dump"... OH YOU NOTICED.

Ok...so this is a bit odd. And probably very geeky.

But I love the chimes that are played before PA announcements in CDG. I've scoured google for them, but no luck.

So, I'm wondering if anyone might know where I can download an MP3 or WAV file with these chimes? I want them for my mobile phone message notification.

Hmmm ... I don't have sound on my system right now, but try this:

http://sonnerieportable.sonnerie.net/sonneriehifi.php

and click on the "Appels/Pubs" category, then on "Appel aroport" ... I have no idea if this is what you want or if it will work, but I definitely know the sound you are looking for!

Hmmm . . . Didn't several Omni experts warn you that those bottom-of-the-line Altec Lansings couldn't handle Motrhead at full volume?

Good try but unfortunately not it... I want the sound too! I have looked in the past and was unable to find it.

Indeed ... I got home last night and played the file and it definitely wasn't the Roissy chimes! Sorry about that.

However, I did find a site with some pretty funny Roissy ATC recordings:

But, my God, what a hole. Third World at best. Furniture is ratty, floors are horrid, and it smells.

Is this thing going to be torn down any time soon?
Isn't it falling down on its' own? L'architecture franaise est trs mauvaise!

Ha Ha very clever. So funny to think that people died in that collapse.

Probably a bit too late for this thread, but I was looking for the CDG "chimes" for a friend, and found this...
