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?

Okay everybody,

You all are much smarter than me.

The isolation springs for speakers baffle me as an improvement in sound.

We go through all of the effort to get the speakers in the correct place - distance to front wall, distance to side walls, distance between tweeters, distance to back wall, bass traps, tweeter absorbers, etc.

Then we decide that having the speaker move improves the sound.

Please explain what I am missing. The only thing that comes to mind it that some thing else must be moving, too?

Thanks for listening,

Dsper

@carpathian
I believe the premise is that the speakers are resting motionless on the springs at a specific tension and the function of the spring is to isolate/dissipate vibration.
So the premise is whatever energy would make the speakers move is dissipated through the springs and the tweeter and woofer do not move?
