and most of the time the "clunk-clunk" sound isnt from the rail...its from flat spots on the wheels from dragging the car with the brakes on...:)

We were on the route from Stuttgart to Munich on a more modern train car where at the end of each cabin in the standing area there was a little video monitor showing the current position, speed, etc. We were going ~155 mph. The ride was very smooth and very quiet.

One strange thing i noticed... in Copenhagn (denmark) the rail sections don't appear to have seams between them... the rails appear to be welded together and smoothed at the junctions. This prevents those cars from having the "clunk-clunk" as the wheels move from one rail to the next. But i figured the gaps between rails were necessary for expansion or something, so i was surprised to not see them on the copenhagn-vaedbek rail line.

Modern passenger trains are cool.
