Check that none of the keys are touching any other keys or pillars by sliding a strip of paper between the gaps and feeling for any resistance:

Check the side and trill keys along their lengths and also check the trill key guide.

Check the arches in the top joint trill keys aren't touching the thumb ring and LH1 ring key overlever.

Check the LH E/B and F#/C# levers for any contact between them and between the side of the E/B lever and the LH F/C lever key barrel.

Check the underside of the low E/B key barrel isn't touching the F#/C# pillar.

Check the linkages on the E/B and F#/C# keys aren't touching the LH F/C lever key barrel.

Also make sure the keywork is well oiled, so add a drop of key oil between the pillars and the ends of key barrels and work the keys to be sure the oil works its way in. If it has an adjustable thumbrest, make sure the locking screw isn't loose. Check any adjusting screws aren't loose. Check around the insides of the ring keys and their respective chimneys to be sure they aren't making contact (although that won't cause any sympathetic resonances as your fingers will dampen that).
