"Noise"

[Newton Hunt]

Leslie,

I can think of a few items to pay attention to the next time you tune that
piano.

        Hard, bad or too fast dampers
        Open waste end strings
        Hammers need filing and voicing
        Bridges are cracked or loose pins causing false beats.
        Soundboard and ribs loose. (watch them loose ribs, they tickle).
        Noise rattling action.
        Strings not rendering easily

Have fun diagnosing.
