tremulousness

But when the echoes have fully ceased, a light laughter at once will pervade the assembly; the musicians will look at each other and smile as if at their own nervousness and folly, and make whispering vows, each to the other, that the next alert from the iPhone should produce in them no similar emotion; and then there will come yet another tweet from the president, and then will be the same disconcert and tremulousness and meditation as before.
