THAT SOUND! That is the sound I've been trying to figure out, but can't describe well enough for anyone to know what I'm talking about. It's the bing... bong... very first thing in the video. I hear it everywhere in the stations, even far away from the platforms in the common areas with the shops. It's not the station-specific chime, the ATOS, or the door closing warning. What is it?
