LACMTA New Flyer "The Whistler"

[rts9100]

We have 1 C40LF in NYC that sounds close to it, but nothing like this one AT ALL!!!!! Lovely!!!

Here in Atlanta some of MARTA's C40LFs make that whistle sound too, and a few of the 1992 D35HFs also had that whistle before they retired in late 2005. I guess its a New Flyer thing

[flyrock45]

its the turbo and its immanent death. a common issue on detroit diesels.

0:43-0:46 what was the noise that bus made?

[nessey5555]

Whistling buses are cool!

I used to drive the 45-4700's out of division 8,and the newer 6000's outa div 10,and they all have the squeeky belt sound!Got to love it,I sure miss driving those!

I know someone who works at MTA in downtown.

His name is Mike.

I haven't talk to him in a while.

Wait till you guys hear a Neoplan with a squealing belt go by!

I've never heard a bus do this before, such a strange noise coming out of that New Flyer!

Its strange for a NewFlyer not to whistle. U wanna hear some whistlers, go up to Ottawa and San Diego

[TuneRVisioN510]

I never heard a New Flyer whistle, but I heard so many of them whine.. Sounds wierd as hell whistling though.

[LightningFever86]

I did, here in NYC :)

[rts9100]

Man our C40LF's used to whistle on the regular!!!!! Just nowhere near as long as thois one did!

[jfrog1983]

Or how about Seattle, WA? There's whistling D60LFs run by Sound Transit up there.

[6V92TA]

ive heard RTS's do this alot. Ive always wondered what that noise was.

[topper2142]

Actually,the sound is generated from the Catalytic converter..At least thats what Ive been told..

[twinturbosix]

Are you sure it's not the turbocharger?

[railfreak99]

here in san diego we have buses that do that. It sounds to me like the belt needs some help

[topper2142]

Nabi's that the mta has dont really whistle,very few do.These new flyers are well known for this whistle,well,the ones that the mta has...

Copy and paste this in the search bar above, Translink 2000 New Flyer D60LF (screeching / whistling bus) Watch that, it's a video of a ride on board it and it whistles like this bus.

[cleanairbus]

Do a search for my video of Translink #7333, a 1999 D40LF, another whistler...Also, you can search for OC Transpo 6169 (a D60LF)

[brownbrownson]

see, here, i'd expect that whistle from a NABI not a D40LF lol

[RTD1]

Cool, reminds me of that intersection filled with RTD 8200 class RTS filled with rioters and Humvees at each corner!

[ea90744]

ROFLMAO this is the best ive heard yet.
