    I've noticed that some conversions have a lot of road and engine noise (MCI). On your channel, I have heard buses that are much more quiet to resemble traveling in a luxury car. Would you address engine sound, whines, tires and road noise, etc. That would be a good talk. I love busses, trains, etc.

    • @billmoran3812
      @billmoran3812 9 месяцев назад

      A lot if the whine you hear can be from the power steering system. Also sometimes from the air conditioning system. Some busses have a hydraulic driven condenser fan located forward on the drivers side.
