Why is it that when the bus first starts up, the engine in the back is loud and when it is moving? Is this normal or is this a problem with the buses? I remember 5790, 5517, 7178 and one of the Nabi's out of Midvale had this problem.

I know this may be a little of topic but i was traveling on the 55 one day this week and the artic was laying over at olney,I was sitting at the back of the bus, the driver turned off the engine and i was hearing this sort of rattling like rumble noise i could not make it out at first then i realized it was the propeller that cools down the engine
