It's a setting in your phone, i'll translate it from a Dutch device:

Goto Settings and click on the left bottom of the screen on More.
In Tab: System you will find: TouchFlo.
Inthere you can (un)check if you wan't your phone to vibrate or not when touching the screen.

In some occasions my phone still vibrates but i don't find it anoying so i didn't bother that and don't know how to change it.

put your phone in hand and bit with the finger( drop the finger on the buttons, on the metal or on the back)
Nope sorry, no vibration here just the sound of my finger against the case. For example it doesnt rattle/vibrate etc when shaken either.

Hi

I think it is the accelerometer, my laptop which has one to detect if it is falling also makes the same noise.

what is the accelerometer? is it normal then or something to worry about. if you tap the top of the phone with your finger you can hear something like a faint ratle or something along them lines.

I think i know the sound you mean, and if we thinking of the same sound its the focuus in the camera. you hear the same sound after you take a photo and the focus releases

Could be indeed. The lens is suspended on a wire spring so an electro magnet can move it in and out to focus. So it would move about if the camera is shaken.

An accelerometer of the type in our phones I think is the same sort of thing, a magnet or coil of wires suspended on a wire spring so it can move about.

The noise is normal.
