Actually it may be a technical term. From undergrad psychology courses many years ago, I seem to remember that there is a transition point at around 7 cycles per second. A variation faster than that is percieved as a vibrato, while a variation slower than that is percieved as individual pulses or "wobble." I also seem to remember that 7 per second is a frequency that sets off a seisure (sp?) in some epileptics, as portrayed by the petit mal blackouts of the doctor in "The Andromeda Strain." Of course in the movie they didn't actually have the lights flashing at 7 per second, for obvious reasons!
