Noise levels on Tube are louder than at a gig or a chainsaw (UK) 22/Oct/2024

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeee.“ There is a high-pitched shriek and as the Tube train hits its top speed, it gets louder and louder. “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee.“ We are between Finsbury Park and Highbury and Islington on the Victoria line. You can see commuters wince at the noise levels. “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee.“ It is the loudest section of track on what has become London’s noisiest Tube line. I’m measuring the noise levels on an app. It peaks at 112.3 decibels (dB). A music concert has a sound level of 110 dB. A chainsaw operates at 120 dB. #tube #londonunderground #tubenoise
