- cowsandmilk 7y ago> Does this hold true for diesel trucks and buses and garbage trucks which are very common in cities? I know from the hybrid buses in Boston that they are a massive reduction in noise for the passengers. When you're at a stop, it is great to not have that engine idling. Electric will only be better in that regard. The garbage trucks though seem to make a shit load of brake noise though. And noise from trash dumping on top of trash and being compacted.

- PeterStuer 7y agoBelow is a non-technical article on the subject. Large heavy utility diesel trucks like garbage trucks have huge engines, extreme start-stop patterns, lots of shifting. Those are loud by themselves. Also, they are low production volume and are only noise insulated in as far as regulation requires them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/americas-best-selling-cars-and-trucks-are-built-on-lies-the-rise-of-fake-engine-noise/2015/01/21/6db09a10-a0ba-11e4-b146-577832eafcb4_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/americas-bes...
