To clarify the symptom: push the top button in either direction and you get about a half-second's worth of groaning noise and then nothing. No action in either direction. The clamshell is locked...

That's a tricky one to answer. How loud at what distance? Under what conditions? Anyone with a smartphone can get a db reading that won't be dead on, but will put you in the ballpark. But...

center console locked forever?

I replaced the hinge on the center console. That's great, and everything worked out fine. Then I went to try locking the console and make sure it would stay closed. Now I can't unlock it.

Thumbs up, man. Way cool for the both of you to enjoy. Believe me, he'll remember this stuff. Not the exact moments and all the details, but the feeling. That's gold!
