On SBS5012J you can hear the sound of metal dismantling itself. Very noisy
All of them are perm buses of 113.
Take them and your eardrums will explode
SBS8622D (HGDEP 159) is quite decently maintained.
SBS5185T (BRBP SP). Rode it on service 28. Quite loud on the outside, but also had a loud whirring noise inside the bus even when idling that really got annoying after awhile...

last Sun i took 5010 and interior engine noise was loud. also the bus seem to travel in low gear and sounded like its dragging. gear change was not smooth either. i dun know if its caused by the BC driving habit or the engine itself.
There was once that SBS8906K was noisy. Seems to be caused by how the BC drives the bus.

Yeap agree. There is a Perm BC driving Sv 113, accelerating and releasing the gear continuously during the whole journey, testing the bus's limits. Making it a jerky ride for passengers and also making the bus very noisy, annoying passengers.

Seems the same way for SBS5157A. When the bus kickdown, the noise disappeared.
