Anyone know what it is?
example in this YouTube video at 0:39 (http://youtu.be/SEg2gv-JOtU)
That's the low bridge warning sound. If a bus is within a certain radius of a low bridge, there will be a warning sound of some sort (there's various types depending on the bus - some beep, some shout 'WARNING', etc).
This serves as an alert to the driver, and makes them aware of the potential hazard.
