ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Current DC Metro "Randi Miller" Automated Door Announcements:

My favourite:  the two-tone Door-Open chime on the Bombardier MKVI Monorails that operate at the Walt Disney World Resort.  A modified version of this chime is used for announcements from the driver:

In all likelihood, as the trains are part of the same order as the TTC's Eglinton Crosstown vehicles, this is what we'll get:

I just hope it's not this:

Nothing is more boring than simple beeps!

As I mentioned earlier, the TTC's ubiquitous three-tone door close chime was first introduced on the Scarborough RT, which was developed by the Ontario Crown Corporation UTDC - now Bombardier.  You can find the same tone on all sorts of Bombardier products all over the world.  I've heard people say "Oh hey, they have Toronto's door chime!" when riding these other systems.

(I would have embedded these, but the forum has a limit on 1 video per post)
