Have heard this on many Orion Vs as well.

What is the cause of this noise?

@sega31098 im not sure but i think it was the same company called Coffey that designed both the Busways here in Brisbane and in Ottowa

[XLongbeachX]

@sega31098 so does Brisbane city Australia

@sega31098 only that station is underground currently because it is IIRC under the above station.. or maybe the its under the highway

If you think that sound has anything to do with the tunnel, it doesn't. You can hear the same noise in all environments, indoors or out.

[walkertexasranger33]

Its a turbo issue on the new detroit engines. Its the sound of an impending death of the unit.
