Vibration - What are the Main Sources?

A current thread discussing the best tweaks gave consistently high ranking for component isolation. I am curious to know where all the vibration is coming from that we are addressing with isolation. I understand that high volume listening can create significant vibration, but for the sake of this discussion let's assume we are listening at moderate levels. Can the vibrations from moderate sound levels affect the quality of sound? Are there other common significant sources of vibration that we are guarding against that can dramatically affect sound?

Vibration is not a simple topic. It is far too complex for this forum. IMO

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well where should it be discussed? No it's not complex, no you don't need a degree, no it's not hard to learn. 

To complex for this forum.. To complex for some I'm sure. But so is plugging in two pieces of gear..  Complex to one is as natural as breathing to another..

To complex? WOW I've never hear that one. Complex yes but TO COMPLEX... :-)

many excellent, well engineered solutions available …produced right here in…wait for it……the USA.

My favorite for years and years with constrained layer damping and…in some cases.springs is HRS. No i don’t get anything for saying that.

Some of us remember the CJ phono sections hung with rubber bands, none of this..especially springs is new. Fletcher and the SOTA Sapphire…..

@oldhvymec

So, "No it’s not complex" in your second sentence, and "Complex yes" in your last sentence. Who can argue with that?

Guess you’re prepared to explain electronic oscillation? Those dumb engineers using complex numbers - what a bunch of dummies. Or maybe you could simplify Cox and D’Antonio (Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers) down to a few sentences? Or how about the modes of vibration in a square sheet, and what to do about it (without differential equations, of course)?

I’m in awe, Oldhvymec.

Natural frequency - Everything on Ground Eart has them.. Just know which one it is and there will be No Vibration..

Diff Eq, yep no problem…just don’t expect speed, i am….rusty

can i use the Quantum computer at work ?
