Consider a propeller.
Transmission of vibration from the engine mechanicals and torque pulses
must produce tremendous vibrations in every propeller. These vibrations
must produce similar effects as these soundwaves. Maybe this is why
propeller blades seem to be able to tolerate higher angle of attack
before stalling than wings.
