Oh, jeez. Another underwater player...

 

What it could be is the length of string between the nut and the tuners ringing. They can act like sympathetic strings and get to ringing just from playing. Weave a piece of clothe through there to stop it.

 

Or is literaly a "whistle"? If so, patent it.

Is a machine tuner loose and vibrating? Maybe the truss rod is slack and rattling in the neck channel.

So I take it you either play an Ovation or a Rainsong?

i haven"t had time to try the cloth thing yet,.the tuners are all tight.i don"t want to fool with the truss rod untill it gets more playing time on it and settles down . i don"t play an ovation ,but i jamed with some guys one had an ovation ,i guess most people don"tlike them but his sounded perty good .rainsong ?i don"t think i ever saw one , never play in the rain ,when there is the lake so close . thanks for the help on the blueridge problem .
