Default Autopilot fighting for control

Robert M. Gary writes:

The autopilots that have "pitch control" (terminology used to denote
that it does more than hold altitude, it holds VS) usually have trim
control as well. The familiar "Trim, in motion" annunciator that seems
to go off everytime I click the mic to call tower in the G1000
aircraft.


Doesn't trim make its own noise? I've read notes in voice recorder
transcripts that mention "trim wheel moving at autopilot speed,"
although that is in large aircraft. I assume it must make quite a
noise if this gets recorded.
