This is exactly why I prefer to get the train into central London when I have to go. The noise on the northern line is unbearable sometimes and I often have to turn my music up very loud. 

The Northern Line is personally the worst of all. A few months ago I used the Northern Line between East Finchley and King's Cross and the section between Kentish Town and Camden Town s/b was unbearably loud, the noise is unlike anything I've heard before on the Underground in terms of loudness. The screeching noise was persistently loud on the approach to Camden Town. Not sure if it's been rectified now, pretty sure it has been as I can't imagine the public being subjected to this until now!    

Have to agree there, I vary my commutes between the Victoria, Central and Jubilee Lines and thought I'd heard the worst of it but that section on the Northern Line is completely dreadful. I was reading somewhere that the people who live above the ground there can hear the trains screeching and they struggle to sleep because of it. Something really needs to be done, I don't know how the drivers on that line cope.
