And for another anecdote: Boston. The stops at Central and Kendall on the Red Line can be positively deafening at times. Almost as if my whole mind is shaking to its core and I'm about to be thrown into another reality.

However, I've always been sensitive to loud noise, so others may not skip a beat.

The new trains are sooo much better. I've been getting them once a week or so on the Richmond line and they are way quieter. They've also started running them transbay, so stay tuned!

I appreciate the pun! Unfortunately, I don't live in the area anymore, but I have heard about the new trains and it's great that they seem to have found a reasonably efficient solution.

I have noise isolating earbuds I wear for my ten minute BART ride. I don’t even listen to music.
