It is usually the sides of the case behaving like a drum.
Try damping both sides with your hands, and see what happens.

That makes sense, but holding both sides doesn't diminish the beat. I
can now *feel* it as well as hear it (~ 1 Hz). Any other ideas on
stopping it? How about that rpm reduction I mentioned?

You are an exceptional person to be able to hear 1 Hz!

The 1Hz is the amplitude modulated envelope (cos b) of a higher
audible frequency (sin a). In other words, you are hearing a higher
frequency signal whose volume fluctuates at 1Hz.

sin (a + b) + sin (a - b) = 2 . sin a . cos b
