^ Yes, I thought he'd get a mention sooner or later, but yes, he's absolutely right. I'm going to pay more attention to sounds if I can - which is something you must've done, Frownland, to like something so specific.

^ Rain is a favourite sound for many people: very natural, very relaxing. This sound is neither of those things: it's kind of stressful in a minor way, esp when you are actually in the tunnel, getting the full force of the acoustics.

Ironically, the tension-inducing sound of arrival is what you are hoping for: every day many Londoners strain their ears for that first hollow metalic whisper, because it means they'll be able to advance their journey. Conversely, the smoother sound of the retreating train is something you learn to loathe. It means, "Drat! I've just missed a train and now I'll have to wait for another."
