On NCE SR series decoders setting CV9 to zero (0) will engage the
silent running feature. TCS decoders are set there as default. Other
decoders may need the CV set somewhere between 0 and 255 to get the
right effect. It seems to vary by loco, but a good starting point
seems to be a value for CV9 around 180, adjust the value by 10 until
you get close, then zero in on it from there. I recently installed a
Soundtraxx LC in a brass loco and it was quietest set at 214. You may
also might want to check your decoders manufacturers web site for more
info or downloadable manuals.
