It's called Distortion.I have one of my very old electric fans sitting
and ahh running on an end table by doggy's end of her couch.(those old
electric fans have a nice whirring sound that new fangled electric fans
can not match) I am not going to talk through that fan blade though, I
haven't done that sort of thingy since I was a kid.I am a big kid
now,,,, I grew up.Hey, stick your finger in that light bulb socket and I
will turn it on!

Identifies as: "WHRI", in SC, USA, on 9515 kHz
now in English at 17:00 CDT

This station has a comprehensive website: http://www.whri.com
with a search engine that includes fields for language, transmitter
freq, location, etc. I tried a search for 'Arabic' on 'Wednesday',
all other fields "all" and got zilch, however I didn't get anything
for less restrictive searches either so I suspect the site isn't
working quite right (note these are selection boxes rather than
freeform entry fields).

I didn't hear the broadcast but the sound you describe may be propagation
traversing a polar region. It's called polar flutter.

But prior to that RCI occupies the frequency, at least in North America. WHRI
signs on at 2200.

Thanks. Indeed the schedule as described in:
http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/PDF/A07_SW.pdf (Radio Canada International)
confirms both the Arabic heard at 1940 utc and the Mandarin heard at 2110 utc
on 9515 kHz.
