I'm also fine with the non-specific crew talk sounds. I mean, in reality, a CSX dispatcher is not going to call a train by "CSX (insert cab number)".
But the worst offender of generic sounds comes in Lionel's newer EMD diesels. Everything over the past few years including SD40s, SD45s, SD50s, SD60s, SD70s, and SD80s of all variations all use the same sound set, which isn't even that great in my opinion. It's sad because they've made some really nice equipment, especially with the semi-fixed pilots and roadname-specific details. But for the price, an SD40 and an SD70ACe should not be having the same horn, bell, and prime mover sounds. And I don't understand why, because they have sound sets they've used before that are are much better that I don't know why they're not still using.
An example: The Lionel 6-28330 UP SD70ACe from 2009 has a great horn and prime mover sound set. Why aren't they using this one on the new SD70ACes? Do they not own the right to the sounds, perhaps?
