The R142As have a distinct howl as well but that's part of their propulsion, I've never heard an R142 "howl" though.

We didn't create the R142 Trainset, one of my team members modified the R142 Trainset with sounds though that we didn't release.
The tri-tone "violin" sound cannot be heard inside a R142 (but definitely outside) and thus that's why it can't be heard when you're operating the train.
I rode an R142 today, and the violin sound could only be heard from the outside.

 MINUTES OF COMBINED WG9
Most important were a small number of instances where the data elements in the R142 list were incompatible with IEEE 1475.
Since IEEE 1475 is a consensus standard while R142 is a single car order, the benefit of the doubt should lie with the IEEE 1475 version, but none-the-less a careful review is needed.
It was agreed that we would derive data elements from UIC 556, R142, IEEE 1475 etc. While we would try to maintain the actual content, format, etc. of the data element with as little change as possible, it was agreed we could change the data element name, if it would make it easier to understand.

The R142 subway cars are the second-newest car type to grind the New York City Subway System's rails.
When I first rode the R142, I thought it was the neatest piece of stainless steel ever to hurtle through the dank tunnels of my city's transit system.
The R142s are also susceptible to vandalism: While the windows have a thin mylar shield that can easily be replaced should the faintest hint of graffiti appear on it, the formica paneling does not fair so well, being easily to deface and near-impossible to replace.

They were built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan and shipped by barge to Port Newark, New Jersey.
They have spent the past 20 years of their lives on the 4-Lexington Avenue Express, however with the arrival of the R142 cars in 2002-2004 most have been transferred to the 3-7 Avenue Express.
New innovations with the R62 were the first air conditioned cars for the IRT and a very controversial interior design-bucket seating.
