  But from what i remember, more than one umw lance has out of battery chimes.
  Its 4 tones, but the last 2 tones are normally so slow, and so soft, that it sounds out of battery.

  One 853 perms have that dead sound. Cant remember the rego as well.

  SBS 1991J also have a special bus stopping bell.
  
  It goes like this...
  
  In the bell, there are four variations of chimes, and all four are being sounded simultaneously, one variation of the bell and then another variation of the bell.
  
  I cannot make out the sound of the bell, but you might be interested in trying out this bus. The bus is on duty 23A/(don't know P shift duty code) for this week.

  Don't think it is. Most of the Lances that I took have bus stopping chimes similiar to the typical chime that SBST use.

  all replaced by beep beep beeeeep beeeep beeeep..

  There was the "authentic" chime in the 1st batch of 0405s. I don't know how to describe, but it's like a real mini bell hidden somewhere. There's a short echo after the chime too.
  
  Now replacements are back to those rude beepers. Can be very unlucky to sit below these new loud chimes that are exposed, pointing towards you.

  You meant "ding dong"? The original one was "ding dong dong dong" (high to low pitch)

  If I'm not wrong, this should be the chime that were used on Lances.

  Like I said, the original bell for Lances are "ding dong dong dong" (high to low pitch). Due to AMDEP replacing some of the bells, you would hear the "ding dong" bell on Lances.

  that was the original bell for DAFs as well.
  it sounded nicer....soothing rather than
  BEEP
