Death wobble is a shake.

Vibration is higher speed/frequency.

That's how I describe it.

I guess it's a matter of perception.

Make sure you check things that are supposed to be tight and firm but aren't (ball joints, tie rods....) and make sure your shocks aren't blown.... A tire bouncing up and down the highway is annoying as hell and FEELS like a vibration in the chassis

But everything you are describing is caused, either directly or indirectly, by something rotating.

Does your Jeep vibrate just sitting still with the engine off?

You know, you're right; it's matter of perception.
