Nearly coherent millisecond oscillations have been observed by RXTE during thermonuclear X-ray bursts in eight accreting neutron stars. In at least two sources, the millisecond oscillation has significant, narrow power spectral sidebands during some of the bursts. These sidebands are separated by roughly 30--50 Hz from the main oscillation, but do not appear at precisely the same frequency separation in different bursts from a given source. Moreover, the relative amplitudes of the upper and lower frequency sidebands are not constant between bursts from a given source, and the upper sideband is generally stronger. I will present the results of a phase-coherent timing study of these sidebands and will also discuss possible origins for the phenomenon.
