rattling wound strings

[Leslie Bartlett]

I'm really poor at rattles and buzzes, largely because I use hearing aids.
I've compensated pretty well for tuning purposes, but others are tough.  So
how does on actually isolate a buzzing string, and how long does the "twist"
last before it comes loose again?

It depends on what is rattling.

If it's the string it self rattling, I would twist it in the direction of
the winding, most of the time that will take care of it.  
If the damper wire is rattling against it you need to realign the damper
properly.
