Can anyone give me a tip for the "chipmunk" sound that comes just as the chugging ends in the Train Train intro ? He does it two different times. I can cover the rest of the intro nicely but have no idea how he does that chattering. Thanks.

Try snoring without breathing through your nose, and I believe you'll nail it. Seriously.

didn't work...I think the sound I'm talking about is done with an exhale.

I can do that snore effect on inhale or exhale-try it. I think it's actually the fluttering of your uvula that makes the sound-a similar effect used in the gutteral sounds of some languages, like German. Remember, try the snore WITHOUT using your nose.

Try rolling your tounge like your doing a machine gun sound or speaking "spanish"(tounge on roof of mouth) while moving your mouth like your saying wowwowwow and blowing. I hope this helps. I'm sure someone else can explain it better.
