Look visually; start engine and note worse vibration location. Sometimes , with engine cooled, shake engine by hand at different locations and note any looseness.
We need to know the year, make, model and engine to help you with that one.
Vibrations,

Possibly a bad motor mount
Bad hydraulic motor mount?
When you have a bad motor mount you may feel a thud when you try to change the gears of your car. You may also find that your motor moves a little because it isn't secured to the car properly.
the motor mount is bad
I have a motor mount going bad. When I shift from park into drive sometimes I hear this THUMP and it is LOUD. That is tell-tale sign of the motor mount being bad. It is the engine shifting because there is no mount to hold it in place. It's really loud like WHUMP!!!! :-) As far as I know, this is not something u want to let go too long as it can be very dangerous should the other side of the mount break too.
