  One box bendy i took is not very noisy, esp when speeding along PIE. Habits are the worst, noisiest bendies. I dun like the 1st batch Habits (ZF). They are rather slow in acceleration and is super noisy. 2nd batch Habits both ZF and Voith not so bad, at least acceleration is better, only bad thing abt it is its hard seats.
  
  Infact, 2nd batch Habits (ZF) sounds better than its 1st batch brothers.

  The Voith ones are nosier than the ZF ones at stop speed.

  Thats because the engine runs at a higher rpm. But ZF ones are noisier during acceleration, esp those which locks up at first gear e.g. TIB1182J.
  
  Anyone notice that some Voith Habits produce an irritating sound when speeding? ZF ones dont have this sound.
  
  Hmm back to topic. I seriously think that its going to be hard to choose which is better since the intro of B9TLs. B9TLs have good acceleration and top speed, a problem which plagues VSO (being slow in acceleration). But i still prefer bendies.. bendies usually dont create motion sickness for people who are prone to motion sickness (unless those BC driving is close to CMI one.) Last time i took TIB1150B from cck all the way to tampines i dont have motion sickness at all ( a problem which i encounter on DDs esp LO3x) . Only have slight backaches. To me, motion sickness can last for a whole day, backaches an hour later gone. So bendies is better for me.
