In all fairness, the BMT standards had spur-cut bull and pinion gears as well, and they moaned and groaned in the same manner. |

The GE R-16s through 21s made the whining sound when accelerating. The R-22s made a humming sound which my mother said sounded like a propeller airplane taking off. The sound was from a fan that on those GEs was used to cool the resistor bank unlike the WH cars that had air cooled resistors. |

Those GE equipped cars were much less reliable than their Westinghouse equipped contemporaries. When the R26 cars were introduced GE went back to the older air cooled resistor banks. |
