When it's straight, it's quiet; when it crosses a switch, it goes kathunk-kathunk; when it takes a tighter curve like the S-bend around the telephone pole between Albert and Somerset, it screeches a bit. These are universal facts of any steel-wheels-on-rails system I've ever seen, even brand new electric ones; e.g., the Canada Line in Vancouver screeches and whines through corners, slows down and bumps over switches, etc.
