to talk gibberish Explanation: Found at: https://en.bab.la/dictionary/german-english/kaudern -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2020-09-21 09:22:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You are right! Perhaps its a spelling mistake and "zaudern" (hesitate / falter / waver) is meant, which does seem to fit better. |

to swish Explanation: "Talking gibberish" obviously doesn't work for an engine noise; "chattering" might be possible but I don't think that's the noise that is meant here. These two links seem to refer to the same noise. It's obviously to do with an odd air flow and it seems like it's a sort of grinding/swishing/scraping noise. There's almost certainly no set term for it, as all the references seem to be onomatopoeic. https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/kaudern-mal-anders-soundfile-t1779341.html https://volkswagenforum.com/forum/volkswagen-cabrio-34/grinding-noise-when-accelerating-99-cabrio-gl-36954/ |
