Any time you hear a train pass you by, you might hear a unique thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk, or rapid (depending on the speed) bang-bang-bang-bang. One of the possible sources of that sound is a wheel with a flat spot. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />A few years ago i was on a Califorina Zephyr going to truckee and the car we were in had a flat spot the whole trip it was Thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk, it was fun[V]
