Noise

Hi fellows!
It is happening something weird with my piano. For the last two or three days, when I play in certain parts (E4-G4, and F3) there is a noise, like a snare drum. There is nothing apparently in contact with the strings.
Does anyone have a comment, or suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

This has happened me many times, but it always stops after a week or so. I usely check inside the piano to see if there are any obvious problems.
If it doesn't automaticly stop, than some more knowledgable people here and in real life would have to help you.

Dear Mephisto:
Thanks for your reply, and yes: today it's much better. Let's see what happen.
Best!

What piano is it?
More importantly, is it a upright or grand?
If it is an upright, try removing everything on top of the piano.

Check around the room at any plant vases or such things around the room. Objects don't even have to touch the piano in order to sympathetically vibrate. There's a brass plant vase in my piano room that sometimes makes a snare drum rattle in certain positions. Turning it around usually solves the problem.

Mine piano had a little brass plack just to the left of low A that worked it's way loose, and it drove me crazy looking for what made that noise. So look around, see if there is anything on or next to the piano.
