The Axe is digital, but the inputs and outputs are analog (if they weren't, you wouldn't be able to use your guitar or power amp ). If you whack any analog audio gear, you generate a tiny signal. Usually, those tiny signals are inaudible. But with the crazy amounts of gain available in the Axe, even a tiny unwanted signal can cause problems.Crazy. How does it work? I don't understand how it's possible.

That's the case that's ringing. If you put a stethoscope up th the case and tapped on it, you'd hear that resonance when you tapped the case, even with the Axe powered off. With lots of gain, that ringing gets amplified. With lots of room volume, that ringing can turn into all-out resonant feedback.It's like it resonates more than feeds back - like it's emulating a circuit that resonates...

The Axe-Fx II strives to minimize this. The Mark II is comparable to most other modeler products. The XL has nearly completely eliminated this due to the use of PPS film caps in critical locations and a stiffer board mounting design.
Anything with enough gain will be microphonic
"Gain" means amplification. Anything in your chain that amplifies your signal contributes to your gain. That means gain, compression and volume knobs in the amp block, compressors, drive blocks, or anything of a hundred parameters that can increase your signal....when you say "gain", do you mean the I/O page input or do you mean distortion turned up all the way?
