Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Where exactly this vibration is located? Is it groin area? If so is it on one side?
Do you smoke? Do you have calf pain when walking? Is one leg colder than the other one?

Such vibration can be caused by inguinal hernia (gas in the intestine) or narrow arteries due to atherosclerosis.
Hernia gives kind of vibration in the groin area. Pain while coughing can appear.

Calf pain while walking can be caused by atherosclerosis which can also give vibration feeling.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
