If you meant "Why is there a vibration, or vibration like sound when I'm driving" it is because either the drive-shaft is dented or one of the balancing weights is removed. Or basically it is not balanced, therefore vibration occurs.
The drive shaft can vibrate due to damage or if the balancing weights fall off. If the weights are lost, you may take the shaft to a shop that has the equipment and have the shaft balanced again for typically under $50.
