The salient features of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) observed in type 2 bursts and in the persistent emission from the Rapid Burster are discussed. In addition, a brief review is given of the models that have recently been proposed to explain high-frequency QPO observed in several bright low-mass X-ray binaries. We do not yet know the mechanism(s) of the QPO, not even whether they are magnetospheric in origin. However, some of the proposed ideas could well be relevant to the various rather complex aspects of the QPO. It is likely that more than one mechanism is at work.
