Incredible fun. I got every one wrong except the line I live on and use all the time. I couldn't tell any of the others apart much, but I knew my line instantly, without any doubt. Fascinating.

It seems a little unfair to include the circle and metropolitan lines as they use the same rolling stock and run on the same tracks in the centre of the city.

And yet I could tell them apart with pretty good confidence. Why?

Somehow I got a 7 out of 9, even though I felt like I was mostly guessing. Surface vs deep lines have more rumble but that’s about it that I consciously knew of.

I got 6 out of 9 and haven’t lived there in 10 years. Felt some nostalgia hearing some of them though!!!

I got 8/9. Been away 2 years. The ones I rarely used or which don't have obvious "tells" that are hardest. For me, Jubilee is the most obvious - very distinctive sound.

Nice! It would be fun to include some of the other sounds on the tube like the door closing chimes or the sounds the doors make when opening and closing.

Eh they all sound like SCREEEEEHEEEEECHCCCCHEEEEEE now anyway because TFL are incapable of doing basic maintenance overnight (such as grinding the rails) without using expensive contractors that eat money up.
After being in Paris over the weekend the state of the underground cleanliness/noise is just absolutely shameful.

It was fun to guess these without being familiar. I sort of guessed based on vague knowledge of age and name familiarity. Maybe I was lucky.

Loved this!
A bit deep to put district and circle as options on the same question. Don’t they use the same rolling stock and cover very similar stations?
I found Bakerloo was the easiest to identify.

The Bakerloo sounds are indeed pretty distinctive (I lived near Kilburn Park for a while and knew it well!). But I think the easiest of all is the Jubilee line. Those melodic sounds from the traction motors that rapidly change pitch when accelerating/decelerating are so distinctive and unique.

Jubilee I found pretty easy too

Enjoyed that. Not lived in London for 30 years, but some sounds never leave you...
I got 5/9 on the Tube Sound Quiz!
(better than random!)

I got 6/9 and I've never been there.

Elizabeth is the only one I use frequently so I got them mostly wrong.
