Yes. The constant hammering of the engine. All engines speed up and then slow down just a bit. Every time a cylinder fires, it speeds up, and as the fuel burns out and makes power, it slows until the next one fires. A diesel fires so violently it just makes the issue worse. 3 cylinder motors are also worse because of the vibration. Yeah, it's a "balanced" motor, but it's not perfect because it's an odd number.
