Lots of idle chatter & smart alec remarks but no real answer until Wes came to the rescue. Thank you, Wes!
Indeed, Jpharris, what you are hearing is shock waves as outlined in the turntablebasics.com website. I was going to reply to this effect but Wes beat me to it. I'm a bit surprised that a cart. w/ a quality as high as Aurum Beta S is producing shock waves! I have heard the same cart. on a Nott. Interspace but it was quite as can be. I wonder what the reason might be in your setup??
I once had an AT96E cart. on an old Dual & it produced loud shock waves that I could hear at my listening seat & in the whole room, in fact. My G1042 is much better - stuck my ear as close to the cart. w/o touching it or the tonearm or the LP - not a squeak.
