Are there any Q*Bert ROMs with different sounds?

My Q*Bert is in the gameroom, but some of the sounds seem weird. When Q*Bert dies, he cusses. However, my game seems to cuss in a much lower pitch than a game I repaired a few weeks ago.

Also, when the snake goes over the edge, you typically here the falling noise. Mine makes a different lower-pitched noise.

I asked a friend and he said he thought there were a few different ROM versions that might account for this. I'm not so sure...
 
Sounds like you need to tweak the two pots on the top right of the sound board.
I dont know of any other sound roms except qb mellow yellow and they dont change the sounds you indicated.
You want to hear something cool, throw some mad planet sound roms on there and play qbert:)
I can send you the rom files if you want to pull them to verify.

Those are something like 100 turn pots so count the turns and note direction so you can put them back where they were if needed.
