Guys I know that several guys on this list a full scale jet jocks.....so Yesterday descending from 35K - the pilot did not deploy the spoilers, but rather extended the LE slot and the flaps were 20+ degrees with a healthy nose down attitude. At that time a very loud medium freq vibration started. Very different from spoiler noise. Dropped 15K retracted LE and flaps - noise decrease with retraction. I cannot believe that those vibrations would not cause metal wear of metal fatigue. Has anyone noticed this? I stopped at cockpit and asked pilot - he just gave me the "dog-whistle" look... TIA Jim
