A complete trip on Métro (subway) line 9 of the Paris subway system, from the Alma-Marceau station to the Havre-Caumartin station. Starts with descent into the Métro station and ends climbing up the steps back out at the destination. One train is allowed to pass, at about the 1-minute mark, as we wait on the platform, and an announcement giving the times for the next trains can be heard. The ride on the following train begins at around the 2-minute mark.
There are two loud sounds between about 9:10 and 9:20 and some loud low-frequency wind noise at around 10:40 (as we leave the Métro station and return outside), so beware.
Recording with Zoom H4N, originally 96 kHz/24 bits, uploaded as MP3 320 kbps because the WAV was so big (almost 500 MB).

Hello,
Thanks for this sound! The ligne 9 is actually one of my favorites for sounds.
As I'm from Paris too, I specially like the high sound of resonance of metros in the tunnel: for ex. at 2:20, which I sampled and filtered.
If you want to see the result:
