I'm sure they were mechanical (due to the sound) but others say they were a tape/p.a system.

I used to own one. There are a couple of options. One is a PA system connected to a tape deck using pre-recorded or home made tapes. The other provides many more choices in the selection of music and or sound effects. That one is the electronic system. Depending on your budget you could and still can get a system that will play up to 100 different tunes & melodies. JCWHITNEY.COM has several available.

it relatively is too undesirable. you're no longer asserting whether or no longer the noise is surely waking the toddler up, yet while that's, is there a room on the decrease back of the domicile it relatively is quieter? are you able to play some soothing sounds interior the nursery that could drown out the ice cream truck? I stay in nyc, and we actually have a high quality of existence regulation for noise (think of in a brilliant city like this) and ice cream trucks or any motor vehicle emitting sound can purely gain this whilst they are in action. while they pull over, they could desire to close the carry forth...that's been super! If that's particulary bothersome, maybe you may merely ascertain that there are no longer any interior of sight codes the truck is violating....

Judging by the sound emmanating from our local ice-cream van, I'd say using Stone Age technology more akin to Fred Flintstone's era. The tune seems to be a hybrid-mix of Greensleeves and Itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-poker-dot-bikini. I try to hum along with it but the tune keeps changing!

They were indeed a wind up system just like a music box,
The sound was then amplified with a microphone connected to a 12 volt PA amplifier.
