Sweep up through the frequencies starting at 100Hz. When you get to a frequency that's causing a sympathetic vibration it should be easy to feel where it's coming from. Testing for what's rattling in response to a sub you'd start at 100Hz and sweep down.
Great idea! Embarrassing that I didn't think of that already being an electrical engineer
