I was on an easyjet flight this morning and noticed a distinct and pronounced rattling, clicking noise coming from one of the engines. Not being a very good flier at the best of times (despite working in the aerospace sector) I was pretty worried. When the engines spooled up I was also sure I could feel a throbbing kind of vibration I wouldn't normally expect.
Clearly the engine didn't fail as I'm writing this now, but what could be the cause of the noise? Is there a genuine problem with the engine or is it a normal phenomenon I haven't encountered before? The airframe was an a320 and the engine I'm pretty sure was a v2500.
