As a conductor I have ridden on engines with flat spots. Some were not that bad and we were just told to use them and eventually the engine would find its way to a home shop for repair. The thudding of the flat spot is less noticeable at high speed due to the engine noise and other elements. When the train is moving slower and especially when it is in idle just rolling along those flat spots are very noticeable and can get quite annoying.
