More Readings of Noise on Buses
A few days ago, I measured the noise on one of the conventional buses that run on the 43 route. It gave a rest reading of 57 dBA and a full speed one of 87 dBA.
Since then I’ve taken a few more readings.
141 – Volvo Hybrid 55/86
141 – Volvo Conventional 61/80
277 – Dennis Conventional 52/85
73 – Mercedes Bendy 67/83
In all cases I was sitting at the back by the engine on the lower deck.
It does seem that they are fairly similar with the hybrid being slightly quieter.
If you search the Internet for London bus noise, you’ll find this chat about the noise outside the Volvo buses that run on the 76 route. Over the last few days, the route has received a batch of new Volvo hybrid buses. So does it pay to complain about bus noise in London?
