I wouldn't use perpetual here ... constant is fine - and another 'good' word is 'incessant' - other words are 'unceasing' or 'ceaseless'. Perpetual is used for 'eternal' or 'life-long', and also used in colloquial phrases like 'perpetual nagging'

In this context they can both be used as they are synonyms. However the two should not be confused if talking in a scientific or mathematical context, e.g. a mathematical constant.
