In another topic, Julie Loader was talking about the sound from the phonograph.

I've spent near two hours on this sound, speed down, editing the pitch, and trying many different effects to have something a bit listenable.

The sound is apparently a sentence with few words.

I'm not sure, but I am listening : "OK, this is your name now..."

If someone have a better audio software (or can use it better than me !), please give it a try.
There is something important coming from the phonograph.

So...listen to the sounds :

I always thought it sounded like words distorted, but who knows?

I think it's the sound that is generated when either (a) Judy or something  else is about to take Laura or (b) when the past is changed

How about rather just something a bit simpler (simpler?) like a skip (or blip) in time. This sounds like a distorted (as are such sounds in the lodges) version of the record player skip during Maddie's death scene (even backwards/distorted you can tell they aren't a match, but we're dealing with different entities here). This sound also occurs in episode 17 before Laura disappears from Cooper's grasp--the first skip/blip in time because Cooper has transcended time to try to fix things. I think it's just a clue to us and Cooper: ominous record skipping sounds = supernatural shit hitting the fan in a way the effects, is effected by, or even affects time.

Now, you're asking, "But the 'time blip/skip' idea doesn't add up for the Bob/Maddie scene does it?" I'm glad you asked. If, like me, you subscribe to the fact that lodge dwellers exist outside of time, then it does work.

Background: Freddie kills Bob in present with a supernatural glove (season 3), Leland kills himself because Laura disappeared (Final Dossier) because Bob never possessed him as a kid or adult and he never killed Laura, because Bob's death in the future killed Bob in the past too("the past dictates the future" -Coop). Enter the Maddie scene: Well, as I just mentioned, Leland never got possessed so this scene is a time paradox (which is ultimately undone) and a blip in time, which accounts for the skipping record player during Maddie's death scene.

I think a lot of the video matchups are cool and well thought out scenes by Lynch, but like Tracey says just before she dies, "Let's not overthink this..."

I might even go one step further to say that the breaking of the Glass Box and Judy's escape (like I said, saying that thing is Judy) corresponds to the last moments of episode 18 when Laura hears her mother's voice, screams and everything flashes, there are loud noises and it goes dark. Laura wakes up: the box explodes and Judy is released into the world--that scene is the true end of season 3.
