  For some buses, the voith whistling isn't as heard easily as others. SGWiki also claimed that they were using Voith DIWA 864.5 gearboxes. Maybe you need to compare the engine sounds of a ZF MAN and the 13xx series.

  -13xx series MANs have additional grabpoles at the front and more interior stickers

  -Rectangular door movement area marking

  yup. sounds quite different. Earlier this afternoon when I spotted this bus entering tampines int with another batch 1 MAN, this bus have a much more prominent whistle (not Voith whistle) than the batch 1 MAN. No wonder ppl mistook it as a voith gearbox

  It is a ZF Ecolife, there is no difference with the sound in the video and one from an earlier example. I would hazard a guess that the video was shot from the last or second last row for the engine sound to be that loud.
