Yes, rather than a line-source, you have multiple incoherent point sources, but those point sources are being excited along a line at a rate faster than the shear wave speed. So yes, it somewhat different, but also similar.
A test segment would go a long way to determining if/how much of a problem this might be in a hyperloop system.
