Rocking and rolling...
SLF guy,
This phenomenon, when encountered at low speed (eg in the V2-plus-a-bit climb and on the approach) is caused by vortex shedding... I had this explained to me years ago when I flew the F100, and can't remember the detail of the explanation, I'm afraid. It's quite noticeable, and like towing a caravan, one has to avoid the urge to try to correct it as this is likely to get out of synch and cause a worsening. Never a real problem, just a little odd and uncomfy sometimes.
In other flight regimes, it's likely to be to do with U/S yaw dampers and the like...
