Answer
This may be an engine vibration that is transmitted into the car because of a problem with the motor mounts, this is especially true if the vibration can be felt in the steering wheel at idle when in gear, the most common problems are with the mount on the left side of the engine, the one closest to the radiator, also check the link connector(dog bone) on the front of the engine for cracked insulators, if there are cracks in it replace both of them.
