The Tube's voice

Have you ever noticed how noisy the Tube is?!?...just to cite a few of noisy sources: people speaking loud at 50 cm distance to overcome the surrounding noise, the voice from the microphone which kindly reminds us to stand clear of those damn closing doors and to not fall in the gap between the train and the platform, the ring of the ticket gates, the screech of the approaching trains...and so on...

Many other things can cause noise, at different levels, in the Tube...there is a view pack made by WIM in which a series of different "sounds" taken from the network are listed and measured.

If you put on the records all at the same time, you feel like you actually are in a Tube station, however, if you want to complain about the noise is possible to report directly to the competent offices.
