Default shaking

Need some help here folks.

I noticed when I'm at a stop light and about 7/10 times I will be stopped and my car seems to shake. I want to say it's coming from the front of the car (engine) but I'm really not sure. I also hear like something is tapping something else when I'm stopped causing a sound I can hear like something is vibrating. Anyone have any idea of what it could be?

its most likely the stock air intake box it'll go away if you replace it with a aftermarket intake system... :?

Better check your belts. If the whole car shakes then def something's up w/ the engine. Did you replace your pulleys?

I'm not sure, I looked at the belt area, tested it while my ac was on or off. it didn't really matter. i put my e-brake on, while it was in drive in my garage (do this at your own cost) and then go under my car to see where the noise was coming from. i noticed it was near the belts or seemed to be.. other than that i have know idea what the problem is. it's no a horrible ___ shaking, it's more of like something is shaking and then rattling something else. i did clean my MAF sensor and changed my air filter and the shaking did go down and is not there as much.
