My xA is purring?

I have a 05 xA, manual trans, and when I'm stopped at a red light I feel and hear a slight "purring" sound coming from the engine..so I pulled up my emergency brake and popped the hood (car is still in DRIVE) and I see this part of the engine shaking.
I took it to Toyota this morning and they said it was normal?

Anyone else ever notice this???

Thanks-

Shaking a little yes is normal, shaking violently is not normal. Mine shakes all the time, but shakes more than normal cause I have larger injectors in and is flooding the engine with fuel, until I can get stock injectors back in.
