Question GTO thyristors... how do they work???

Are there any electrical traction boffs out there who can give me a brief insight into the GTO thyristors (at least i think that's what they are) that you get on all modern electric traction systems. the only other online info i can find is on Wikipedia and thats hardly brief. what puzzles me is how they all make different noises.
try not to be too complicated in your answer...

thnks
