When we moved here they had 30 year-old ex Adelaide artics that you could hear screaming their nuts off a km away. We could directionally locate the bus so as to tell the kids when to get out the door! A 10 year old bus by contrast you can hear a low growl, but now there's a fleet of new Scania artics that are almost dead silent and have a nasty habit of sneaking up, so that the callout is no longer "the bus is coming!" but "hell, you've missed the bus!" With trams now, it depends whether they have gearboxes or not, the former being the main source of noise apart from wheel-rail interaction (which is worse when there's a concrete slab underneath).
