hi, Yeah, i haven't heard this so-called warble either. However, I have noticed over the years that Jaws has had an on and off problem with Sapi voices. They don't always run correctly with Jaws, but would work fine with Window Eyes. one case in point I had a problem with Neospeec Kate with Jaws, it wasn't fixed until a version later, but the Window Eyes of the time worked fine with it. So the warble others are talkng about is hardware related or it is a bug in the jaws version th person is using. I can say I use it all the time and have never heard a warble.
