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?

Miller again:   "Putting the component on springs does not prevent anything from vibrating..."         Boing boing

Precisely.  Putting loudspeakers on springs positively ENCOURAGES them to vibrate.  Under Newton's Third Law, the moving parts in a speaker will create movement in the speaker box or frame that springs will permit.  Under Hooke's Law, the springs once deflected from their start positions will seek to return to them.  And so on...boing boing boing etc.

Result: Rock and Roll.   But not of the kind we want.
Moving speaker boxes and frames = smeared sound and deteriorated imaging.
