strange noise

[harvey]

Dick, it looks like the old ceiling fan card has been played, so let's try
something else.

- Did you sit down to tune?
- Was the console on cushy carpeting?
- Were all casters on the floor? Really?
- Did you (or player) put your knee under the keybed?
- Any heavy-duty pedagogy (or pedaling) involved?

"Worbling" could be a descriptor for the aural phenomenon that occurs when
a vertical case "racks". You did say the magic word -- Aeolian. That makes
it fair game for this condition.
