Does a Warble warble?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I didn't know exactly what it meant, but hearing it said a few times I knew it was a real word.

How do you do that? As in, any simple example?

 

[Gooberlx2]

I figured it was a real word since I've used it and heard it used so much. I guess it would never have occured to me to see if it was actually listed in the dictionary.

One hears warbling in low bit-rate music files all the time. Try classical music with trumpets and strings. I suppose one could argue that the "warbling" in those files isn't "melodic embelishment"...I just tend to figure that it's embellishmet that happens to be erroneous.
