Now many fleets are converting to LP or Liquified Natural Gas . They just hiss and spit , no more growl of the diesel engine . Many modern trucks have clutch/transmission fans that are louder than the engine !
I spent years behind the "wheel" and things are changing these days . Fewer trucks have manual transmissions and gone are the days of the 3-4 mpg big blocks , you just can't make any money . Emissions requirements today also have very complex Urea Enrichment Systems in many new engines burning diesel .
Some folks claim that engine noise is wasted energy , but don't try and tell that to any of them "Big Time Truckers" , they are like little kids when it comes to noise they need it to make up for something else....
