Questions

Can I use these subway sound effects in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0 or public domain, and both allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these subway sound effects?

No. None of these clips require attribution. If you want to credit anyway, the recordings come from BigSoundBank.

Do these sound like American subway sound effects?

Not all of them. Five are European recordings ("Subway underpass #1", "Subway underpass #2") and the description says where, so check it if your scene is set in the US.
