vibrates
Trembles back forth
Vibrates describes rapid back-and-forth movement, whether physical or metaphorical.
A phone vibrates to signal a call, a guitar string vibrates to produce sound, and a room can vibrate with tension or excitement.
The word applies equally to mechanical oscillation the engine vibrates at high speeds and to intense emotional states the crowd vibrated with anticipation.
Something that vibrates with you resonates or connects on a personal level.
