Seems like TIB 1105H's rear is noiser than the other Mercedes MB
O405G Habit buses than usual; I suspect that it's the lack of the
underfloor air-conditioning unit no longer buffing out the sound
from the engine compartment there.
SMRT should consider adding some noise buffers to where the air-
conditioning unit was before the fire and repair.
Not exactly completely happy with how TIB 1105H was repaired,
but considering how badly damaged the bus was before the repair, I
think they have done a good job overall. I think what this bus
needs, besides engine noise buffering, are new bell and door
closing chimes.
This seem to be the case for refurbished bendies, refurb-ed
Striders did not suffer from this problem, not sure for the
DAFs.
I rode TIB868X after refurbishment, the insulation was somehow
"weakened" after refurbishing, before refurbishment, the bus was
quieter.
