Joel,
Forgot to add (or make it clear), and this took me a while to figure it
out. The "eep, eep" sound is coming from the BG-2, not the T-32, at least
that's what I finally concluded after holding various parts of it up to my
ear. I finally noticed once soon after getting the grip, and also wondered
what the heck it was.
