Abstract
A system that generates vibrations within a computer system. During operation, the system receives a desired vibration profile. Next, the system determines a sequence of disk operations for one or more disk drives within the computer system that generates vibrations which substantially matches the desired vibration profile. The system then performs the sequence of disk operations on the one or more disk drives to generate the vibrations.
