Describe the visible effect
Say whether the cabinet shifts, only a side panel vibrates or the sound follows each drum turn. Include any recent move or floor change.
Why separation helps
Assessment can then consider installation and load conditions alongside mechanical symptoms. A recording alone cannot show floor movement, while a still photograph cannot establish the rhythm of a scrape.
A useful distinction
A recording made across the room may amplify resonance and lose the direction of movement. A plain account of whether the feet stayed in place complements sound evidence better than a louder recording does.
