Se/30 sound chip warm, weird sounds

So one of my other se/30 is making weird sounds. Seems to happen when she warms up. Cap issue?? Rewashed board. I did notice i had a 10uf 16 where a 1uf 50v should have been.

Ok, so i just recapped my other se/30 in the same area as it was more quiet than the working one i do have. Removed old pads, cleaned, new caps, new solder, and she os golden.. amazing what you might have kissed the first time around
 
It's common to have bad traces or just lots of cap goo in that area, has to be very clean and traces intact or repaired for the sound circuit to work.
