Why there is weird sound when you are playing your piano?

Some customers feedback that they have noticed there is a weird sound when they are playing their piano.

It sounds like being caused by something vibrating and this sound is very outstanding when playing certain keys loudly.

I have summarized some of the factors causing this irritating unwanted sound based on the experience and expertise of several piano technician, including myself:

 

1. There is a crack at the soundboard (believe me, it is the last thing ever you would like to happen on your piano)

2. Small items dropped off & fall to the back of piano, especially when these items come into contact with the soundboard

3. Small part (such as some screws) loosen & enable it to vibrate

 

4. There are some items near your piano which vibrate when you are playing.

Hope above summary can help you especially you are facing the same problem.
