Anyone work closely with modern diesel trucks? The big ones...fire trucks,garbage trucks and snow plows. They all sound like something other than a rumbling diesel anymore. There's a slight hill by my house, and when they go either up or down all you hear is a roaring whooosh of air and a horrific whine sound. Is there a small jet engine in there? Turbokompressorsupercharger? I would guess they are all automatics, so is that the tranny whining? There's other odd sounds too..but hard to describe here. I sometimes wonder if a small jet is attempting take off on my street from time to time.
