Good to know you are into DIY but sorry to say we can't diagnose noise problems online as we are not able to locate their sources. Vibrations can be from engine related components or external such as heat shields, loose fans etc. Unless you are able to locate the source, otherwise we won't be able to help.

I checked all heat shileds starting from the exhaust to the engine. i found two broken metal clamps that hold the heat shield on the exhaut pipe directley under the drivers feet. I used two 2 3/4" hose clamps and the annoying noise went away problem solved!
