Like a bleed through on a bass string. I have a length of wood with a felt strip glued to it, and I hold it on the strings in different areas. I think it was in a Bill Spurlock's class where this was mentioned.

I have regulated the dampers, which apparently were replaced a few years back, but even when I put my hand down on the strings I can't stop the sound. Any ideas?
