I have no idea what I am doing.

The Bachmann sound module is known for being rather underwhelming. For those with an ability to solder, there was an easy modification worked out by George Schreyer. I've modified a couple of Bachmann sound cards according to his instructions - not sure whether you can still access the details online.
George's website is still available here: George Schreyer's Large Scale Trains Page A wealth of information that will hopefully be available for a while. It's also available on the Wayback Machine, but I've lost the link.
 
Welcome to the Forum, Mick. You'll find there's bags of experience and expertise here -we were all new to this hobby once, and the chances are that someone will have dropped/lost/melted/trodden on the thing you are interested in at some point in their modelling career...

Don't ask me how I know this. :worried:
Oh go on Patrick ...tell us ! :)
