ESU has one, which is being used in the new N scale sound locos from Precision Craft Models. It is available separately to install in your own locos. You can load your own sounds in it to make it sound like anything you want.

MRC is also coming out with a small sound decoder for use in N scale.

Biggest problem as always is where to put the speaker. The bigger the speaker, the better sound you cna get, so putting the sound in a dummy loco in N scale is probably still the best alternative, except in a steam loco with a large tender.
