The famous ascending three note tone, "dou dou dou", which has become synonymous with the Montreal Metro is being used as the new door chime, followed by an announcement. The "dou dou dou" originates from the sound of the acceleration of the MR-73 stock and was likely popularized through the 1976 STCUM commercial il fait beau dans l'metro.
The door chime is being tested on one MR-73 train on the Orange Line and will be installed on all MR-73 stock by 2012.
Full story, door chime sound sample, and explanation of the cause of the "dou dou dou" on the trains here: Dou-dou-dou «Attention, nous fermons les portes…»
