  Hi, this is not really a "new" topic. Im just trying to relive it. Anyway, which bus engine sound is your most favourite? Mine:
  
  SMRT:1 Merc Volgren bendy(ZF only) Very high pitch sound when dragging gear!
  2, Lance 245 , Turbo whistling and gear dragging!
  3. Scania L113CRL , ELBO only
  
  SBSTransit: VSO, i love it when it accelerates! Whoh............. (not really engine sound, its radiator noise)
  Scania N113CRB OAC, CAC, NAC
  MKIV Strider
  
  Anyone here likes the Volgren bendy's engine sound?

  Uh-huh, maybe the SMRT Hispano Mercedes would be my first choice, nolstalgic and nice.
  Second, the Volgren Hino on BB feeders, when it drag gears, very very cool and nice. And no fear that the engine will blow, its still very soft and smooth, under control.
  Those gear dragging by 0405 just don't look nice, its too powerful and like blasting.
  Volgren 0405G is too powerful to my opinion, the sound. Habits too, all 0405G, in general, too loud. They do the hub-reduct, more irritating, inside and outside.

  I like the sound of Lances when the driver brings it over 60kph on lentor ave, makes u feel fast... and wakes up everyone who's slping on the bus due to the viberations caused by the lousy chassis and bodywork rattleing...

  Most of my favourite bus engine sounds come with Voith gearboxes with their distinctively high-pitched whistle, which sounds futuristic to my ears. My favourite, though, could be the Volvo MK4 DM3500s. The newer MK4 DM3500s really make a futuristic sound (much like those cars in science-fiction movies), even though sometimes the gearbox is dinstinctively not Voith, a kind of jetplane-like "weee..." sound. Makes you really feel like you are travelling on a bus in the year 2032 .

  I agree. I find that the volgren bendies are too powerful! Anyone noticed that? When the BC release the gas pedal then step on it again, there will be a slight powerful jerk caused by the engine, pure torque! But i still love the Volgren bendy!

  My favourite sounds!
  Voiths on some DM3500 (where the whistle is very loud)!
  ZFs on Striders, MK2s & SMRT CRLs
  ZFs on LO3x
  Also the radiator on LO3x... You can always differentiate a DD from an SD by its radiator sound when coming from a distance
  ZFs on VO3x (and radiator sound too)
  Voiths on some VO2x (again, when the whistle is very distinctive)!
