the right thing for noisy old buses then would in a Interior PA system. must really love 'em to endure excessive interior noise at speed.. good for laughs and stories.

'that ol bus was so noisy, we had to use phones person-to-person over 60 mph just to talk.'

maybe this is why VW went to water-cooled engines. ( not really of course, but it's a fun thought )
