Buses are a lot more practical for residential areas than trains, and quieter too.

Im almost certain an electric tram would be quieter than a bus. The rubber tires have more friction and make more noise. The exhaust from the bus can be loud and smelly.

Electric buses are IMO quieter than trams, because trams have these unpleasant metal noise.

Both are quieter than diesel buses.
