    Well, in a neurological acoustic exam, the tapping fork vibrates, so VIBRATION,maybe?

    Source:
    Test for Lateralization (Weber) ++
    Use a 512 Hz or 1024 Hz tuning fork.
    Start the fork vibrating by tapping it on your opposite hand.
    Place the base of the tuning fork firmly on top of the patient’s head.
    Ask the patient where the sound appears to be coming from (normally in the midline).
