A model is tested to rapidly evaluate the vibrational properties of alloys with site disorder. It is shown that length-dependent transferable force constants exist, and can be used to accurately predict the vibrational entropy of substitutionally ordered and disordered structures in Au-Cu, Au-Pd, and Cu-Pd. For each relevant force constant, a length- dependent function is determined and fitted to force constants obtained from first-principles pseudopotential calculations. We show that these transferable force constants can accurately predict vibrational entropies of L1$_{2}$-ordered and disordered phases in Cu$_{3}$Au, Au$_{3}$Pd, Pd$_{3}$Au, Cu$_{3}$Pd, and Pd$_{3}$Au. In addition, we calculate the vibrational entropy difference between L1$_{2}$-ordered and disordered phases of Au$_{3}$Cu and Cu$_{3}$Pt.
