Those I do not mind - it's just the likes of South West Trains' Class 458/5s that have an ear-piercingly loud Desiro-style 'bing bing bing' which, once the door opens, is absolutely deafening.
That is one if many issues with the desiro, in summer they seem to have air conditioning set to -20 degrees, I get on in shorts and t shirts, come out with a coat on!
