This topic is about some low pitched sound made by the trains running on EWL and NSL.This sound is produced when the trains run on new tracks. Actually, most...

What is the purpose of guide rails? and btw only guild rails appear at elevated stations and not inside tunnels, depot tracks neither??

Tunnel and elevated tracks don't need because the train will not derail onto a road (or something)

Actually , IMO , reserve sidings don't need to put guide rails. (fully)

Different standard gauge..

1st Picture show normal/old standard gauge
2nd picture is Replaced/New Standard Gauge thats why it produce low pitch sound

Singapore really waste too much on guide rails , even stations and straight tracks also put. Is not that Singapore have natural disasters.

You cannot say like that. Before things happen, we must know what are the possible things that might happen.

SMRT is currently running on standard gauge (1435mm). Guard rails are there for a reason. Assume that there is a train derailment, the bogie will get stuck to the guard rail, thus, won't cause any accidents such as, carriage topple down to the ground.

So it means that in underground / depot tracks have no guide rails and if got a chance to observe such tracks, can only see Standard Gauge?

Along the MRT network, all you see are Standard gauge. Not metre, not narrow, not wide, not broad. It is standard guage (1435mm).

Mostly guard rails are placed in places above ground level. Take a look at the stretch between Kranji - Marsiling, and Khatib - Yio Chu Kang. They do not have any guard rails in placed. Except for a small portion where the track goes over a canal.

Eh excuse me what new old standard gauge nonsense is this.

Standard gauge 1435mm is standard gauge 1435mm. No diff.
Please hor, new or old, if still 1435mm, will have no problem.

Noise, is definitely caused by something else.

Must be the flange wheel rubbing against the side of the rail.

Like what he said, standard is standard. 1435mm will always be 1435mm.

Ok , but reserve sidings , only limit to 15 km/h , and still have guide rails!

If I'm not wrong, WB trains leaving Bugis to City Hall are also making that sound.

Now, trains thet depart tampines station are now making the sound.(As seen from the colour of the tracks.)
