Where are you comparing it to? In my experience the quietest subways are from the past 20 years or so. BART first started running in ~1970.

- codemac 10y agoWell bart is famous for having super loud screeching wheels[0], but they will be replaced by around 2021.. The screeching is absolutely loud for a subway, though I think the noise all together isn't so bad relative to other subways.

- shinymark 10y agoYes, it is awful. I've spent significant time in Japan and can't believe how quiet the trains are - including the high-speed bullet trains - compared to the awful screeching of the train I grew up riding: BART.
