When a body vibrates under a periodic force, the vibrations of the body are : (a) natural vibrations (b) damped vibrations. (c) forced vibrations (d) resonant vibrations. Q. Sound is produced by vibration. Define vibration. Q. Define amplitude, frequency and time period of vibration.
The meaning of VIBRATION is a periodic motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium in alternately opposite directions from the position of equilibrium when that equilibrium has been disturbed (as when a stretched cord produces musical tones or molecules in the air transmit sounds to the ear).
Free vibration or natural vibration occurs when a mechanical system is set in motion with an initial input and allowed to vibrate freely. Examples of this type of vibration are pulling a child back on a swing and letting it go, or hitting a tuning fork and letting it ring.
continuous quick, slight shaking movement: Vibrations were felt hundreds of miles from the centre of the earthquake. Aircraft manufacturers want to reduce vibration for the sake of safety. Fewer examples. The vibration can become irksome after a while. We know that prolonged exposure to vibration can weaken aircraft components.
Vibration, periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium, commonly resulting when almost any physical system is displaced from its equilibrium condition and allowed to respond to the forces that tend to restore equilibrium. Vibrations fall into two categories: free.

periodic, to-and-fro motion or oscillation of an object, as an elastic body or the particles of a fluid, when it is displaced from the rest position or position of equilibrium, as in transmitting sound. b. a single, complete oscillation. Webster’s New World College Dictionary, 4th Edition.
A vibration is a shaking motion. If you feel a strong vibration in your car every time you step on the brakes, it might be a good idea to take it to a mechanic.
