Tube engineers say they have identified why noise levels have increased on the Victoria line.
BBC London recorded noise levels on the Victoria line that were higher than a music concert - but lower than a chainsaw
A speed restriction that was introduced due to flooding at Green Park has been found to be the indirect cause of the noise.The speed restriction there meant the trains ran faster over the rest of the line to keep up service frequencies. The noisiest section on the Victoria line is southbound between Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington.A typical music concert has a sound level of 110dB while a chainsaw operates at about 120dB.Franki Oliver from the Royal National Institute for Deaf People said 115dB could be painful and might "damage the hearing for commuters".
