Vibration sound effects for anything that hums or shudders. Gears grinding inside a big machine. A fridge humming in the corner, rattling now and then. Metal objects recorded through contact mics until they groan, and Tibetan bowls struck and rubbed until the whole room rings. A ship repair yard adds the heavy end. Felt as much as heard, a lot of it.

Vibration is what a sound does after the hit. A struck bowl rings on with a long Resonance, and a fridge hum wobbles as the compressor works. Contact mics take that further. Pressed against metal, they pick up groans and screeches the ear would normally miss, which makes good raw material for horror beds and sci-fi engines. Loose parts add a Rattle on top. The gear recordings bring grinding motion, and some were captured as ultrasonic sound to be slowed right down.
