ha ha. fortunately I'm not riding in East Africa in the near future. If I do, I'll make sure there is no elephant mating call sound...
I cleaned the bottom bracket shell, re greased the bb, and clearned & re greased the pedals. I also did a cursory check of the rear wheel and seat just to cover all the bases. Don't know if this solved the problem, but I'll find out tomorrow when I go for a club ride.
