RailSounds 4E - as a result of complaints of excess static and hissing in background sounds (artifacts of compiling the sounds to save chip space), RS4E uses chips with larger capacities, allowing a higher-quality sound with less background noise. Functionality didn't change, and I don't believe any extra sounds were added. I'm not aware of any labeling differences between RS4 and RS4E, and the PICs usually still start with RS27.

I believe that at least one extra sound added by RailSounds 4E is an alternate TowerCom announcement telling the engineer to "hold for clearance." This is accessed by pressing AUX1 before pressing TowerCom.

Cheers!
