Imagine that with the rattling of a 38 stock approaching. As a kid I made my dad lift me up and hold me tight as it came thundering into the station. Angel station was the worst. It was like being in a chamber of horrors. When I was 17 my Dad said:"you're too heavy".

It's strange that the '38 stock only came out of mainline service this year on the Isle of Wight. Now they're being replaced with refurbished D78 stock.

mmm the smell of radon gas

[@benjaminbrown3939]

The smell of the air being pushed out of the tunnel by the train.

[@davidhaxell4161]

Always gives me goosebumps, I remember the first time I went with my family to London back in the late 90's, I was terrified of the thought of getting on the tube because it looked like a rollercoaster... silly I know, but that's what you do when you're a kid. I love this sound because it has so many feelings and emotions attached to it, along with the smell you feel like hundreds of years of history beneath London are being woken up!

[@fifa22isshite90]

Well... Rollercoasters are just trains on crack 🤷🏻‍♂

I'm probably the only person who listens to London underground trains, specifically "All 11 Lines Extravaganza!" for the nostalgia 😂

I have the same feeling you described for the Sydney trains. The noises, the smell, the air, the announcements, the whistling ❤️

[@CaptainCalculus]

It's a mixture of air being pushed down the tunnel ahead of the train and the sounds echoing off the walls and interfering with each other (they're waves after all). You'll notice the sound is louder in summer. I love this sound.

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

The crying knells of the forgotten back-breaking work that many men done in order to build these tunnel systems, some of which go VERY deep into the ground. God bless their souls 🙏🏾

[@1190SW]

In Glasgow, our subway makes some amount of noise when trains approach due to the smaller size of the tunnel portals (gauge is only 4ft), heightened by the screech of the elderly brakes on these 1979 met-cam made sets. Used to scare me to tears as a kid, but as an adult, I adore these now and love the half-hour circular trip in these characteristic trains (soon to be replaced by Stadlers though, sadly!).

[@balazstoth3734]

When i visited London in March i was surprised how scary and depressing the underground looks like. In Hungary we have bigger, open stations, no these kinds that basically push you near the train. It's weird.

[@tr_nt.]

The rush of wind and the oily smell is so nostalgic.

Better if they turned all the lights off my feel spooky then 😂

sounds like the wheel flanges bouncing off the rails or the wheels are causing a harmonic ressonence in the rails.

[@tommercer1406]

A lot of the lines do this. I think it's an effect of the air being pushed through the tunnel creating a sort of low pitched whistling noise. That's just a theory tho

I was at that station a couple weeks ago because a section of the northern line was under construction and I was lost and had to get home. And to be perfectly honest, I was so worried because I was lost I didn't notice 😂

[@ERROR-un9zo]

When I was young me and brother always went up the the edge to see the trains leave. We would always hear the sounds of nearby trains echoing in the tunnel. So creepy…

[@FMasterMCPEG]

That is pretty normal because the breaks creates that Creaky sound and the train engine creates the screaming sound The pitch decreases in arrival and The pitch increases in departure and the whispering sound is the actual sound of the train if the tracks are joint perfectly and if you've noticed the tracks are actually a ballastless plinth tracks that is why we did not hear Clickety-clack... sound that is the reason why we hear that whispering sound that is sounds like a ghost whispering on you ear. SKL.

liar. The paris metro uses the same traction system

[@laminatedsamurai]

Same sound in New York/New Jersey PATH stations. Air currents and sound traveling through the rails. Anyone who uses subway/underground/tube on a regular basis will be well used to these sounds and may even be able to tell things like speed and direction of travel just from the noise and the particular feel of the blast of air comong down the tunnel.
