Unless you’re fresh off the boat you probably have opinions on which lines you like (Victoria, Metropolitan) and which lines you’d rather avoid (cough, Central). However, which London Underground line happens to be the noisiest has long been a debate among commuters but thankfully now we have some data to settle the argument.

Unsurprisingly, the Northern line has received the most noise complaints over the last four years, with a total of 282 residential noise and vibration complaints made against the service between 2018 and February 2022.
