I can tell you the exact spots on the Northern and Victoria. There's just something about the frequency which is like nails on a blackboard.

And if you want to know - look for the person with Noise Cancelling headphones holding them to their ears trying to drown out the pain.

I'll try to say hello when it dies down.

Honestly, a pair of Sonoflow 1more ANC headphones have been an absolute Godsend. Possibly the cheapest and best pair of ANC you can buy at that price point.

    There's one bit between Euston and London Bridge where it rises high, and then goes quiet for exactly 10 seconds before rising high once more, and then down to nothing.

    That second wind catches the non-locals out, and I put on a smug superior knowing grin as I wince my eyes and stare at my phone until the noise terror subsides
