Did you replace the timing and balance belts lately? I did and I have the same problem.

Default hmmm.

Could be quite a few
things...I had a similar
vibration when I had a
bad motor mount. Original
ones fail a lot on the
944. The fluid leaks out
eventually. Also,a bad
balance shaft is possible. Even suspension related issues could do it. Oh,
what fun...

If you have a vibration after replacing the belts recheck the balance shaft belt timing - it is easy to get it off and the result is a buzzing that increases with rpm. These usually smooth out as they are revved. Bad motor mounts are usually most obvious at idle.
