Are you speaking of the BEEP BEEP BEEP sound? Or the 3-tone chimes after that? That's a CLASSIC sound, and it reminds me of when I used to take the metro as a child.

the BEEP BEEP BEEP door chime just before (or while) they're closing. Not the take off Doo-Doo-Doo power choppers sound.

Everyone loves that delicious sound when the metro takes off, It's so sweet and soothing.

Also: FUCK YOU ALL

I'm from São Paulo/Brazil and I spent 2 weeks of january/08 in Montreal. The city is wonderful and I specially remember of this take-off sound...

Thx for the video!

I don't have a great regard for French engineering, but I admit I'm amazed how the 50 year old design still holds. It does at all look so old.

The first three notes of the piece "Fanfare for the Common Man" are coincidentally the same as the sound made by motors of the MR-73 class of cars on the Montreal Métro as they leave the station and accelerate.

I love that take-off sound too! I have a cover album of Beau Dommage, and the first song on it starts with a recording of the Métro. It says "Prochaine Station, Beaubien" then it does the take off chime.

Well, You can always come back, Montreal is still there.

Did you use to live here or were you here on vacation?

I took the Metro everyday for about 11 years, and I think he's talking about the BEEP BEEP BEEP sound that they use at both end of the line before it leaves the station. I always took it for "hurry up and get in, we're closing the doors and leaving". At the St-Michel station when you hear that sound you have more time to get on the train than at the Longueuil-Berri UQUAM line. Over there they sound barely before they close the doors.
