Isa 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
The definition of viols is:
1) a skin-bag, jar, pitcher
a) skin-bottle, skin
b) jar, pitcher (earthen)
2) harp, lute, guitar, musical instrument
A skin-bag, jar, or pitcher do not produce noise, so this verse must be referring to a musical instrument.
