I can imagine the flange squeal from passing freights in Manchester Piccadilly can certainly rival this on certain days

Given that the squeal sound is form the wheel/track flange interface, the likelihood is that the 700s are quieter than the 319s as their bogies have shorter wheelbases.

Although on the flip side, 700s might reach faster (noisier) speeds in the platforms due to better acceleration.
