AFAIK we do have words that are somewhat related, but not exactly what you're seeking:
> rhythm (e.g drum-beat) (n)
wab sound, noise (n)
QoQ music (n)
(HQ 2.4): meaning musical sound, whether or not a Klingon voice is participating in producing this sound
moq beat (something with an implement) (v) -- which is specifically associated with music:
(KGT 74-75): The general term for a percussion instrument of any kind is {'In}. [...] Other members of this group of instruments are hit with a stick of some kind. [...] To strike the instrument with a stick is to {moq} ("beat") the instrument.
> Just needed something for:
> shake/vibrate (v)
Qom experience an earthquake/tremor, tremble (v)
Qom Qu'
The mission experiences a tremor. KGT
Qom He
The route experiences a tremor. KGT
Qompu' Duj
The ship has experienced a tremor. KGT
Qombe'! nISbe' jevwI', 'ej not ruS baq.
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
[lit. "It does not tremble! The storm does not disrupt it,
and it never terminates the bond."] (Sonnet 116)
joq flap, flutter, wave, beat (heart) (v)
vIH move, be in motion (v)
Until we learn otherwise, I would (metaphorically?) use {Qom} for big, violent shaking and {joq} for smaller-scale vibrations or throbbing.
