Default Vibration

So at idle my car has s strange vibration. It isn't constant but it happens every couple of seconds and the vibration lasts a few seconds too. It is not a misfire, but something is definitely vibrating and it is starting to get annoying. Any idea where to start looking for it? I haven't had any luck so far.

Just yesterday my exhaust was rattling. They bolted or screwed a metal clamp to hold the rubber piece that holds your exhaust up. Well that bolt was loose and was rattling against the frame of my car.

1 rattle/vibration down, 47 more to go.

I think it is more than that. Normally I try to ignore the small vibrations but this one is pretty big and you can actually feel it in the car, so I'm trying to get rid of it.

I don't think I did a very good job of describing it. The vibration is very loud and I can physically feel it while sitting in the car. I've had a misfire before and it doesn't feel the same as that. It may or may not be related, but I've also noticed that sometimes when i come to a stop and the car is at idle the RPM's sort of hang out for a second or two a little above regular idle speed, then settle down.

Does any of this help any with figuring this out?
