Default Jubilee Line - noise and maps

How come the Jubilee Line is so noisy? It seems to be considerably
noisier (from inside the trains, though also from the platform when a
train approaches/leaves) than the other lines.

Does it actually run faster, or is something else causing the noise?

Also, what's with the line map above the windows? East/west seems to be
reversed depending on which side of the car you're sitting on.
Presumably this is to make it consistent with the direction the train is
travelling in, but since (AFAICT) other lines don't do it that way, I
just found it confusing...

congested M4 in a 60mph steamroller?
