It's called water hammer and is very common with washers.

This is a bit of a longshot... If its the water pipes behind the furnace, you may be dealing with water hammering. I had something similar with my sprinkler system and it would vibrate (Though much much slower than yours). Water Hammering in short is caused by high water pressure in the pipes. Essentially the water gains momentum as it flows through and when it hits a right angle in the pipes the sudden change in momentum gets passed onto the pipe itself (Because the water won't compress to absorb the shock). Air in the pipes can also make this worse as air is compressible, but the water is not. Lastly, you see water hammering more in modern devices that shut off water quickly to conserve water. The sudden shut-off causes a shock to the flow of water (I had this problem with my washing machine).

Things to look into:

  1. At a hardware store you can get various kinds of water pressure gauges. Ideally, put one on (for me it was my outside hose bib that was easiest to attach to), and measure the water pressure. I googled what the ideal water pressure should be for my house and went from there. Being in a 10 story apartment I couldn't tell you what PSI you should have.

  2. Water Arrestors are a weird thing that exist ( Amazon Link). Essentially they act as shock absorbers for water pressure. I had to install 2 on my washing machine (again because of the high PSI). There's lots of different kinds that can be attached at various points in the plumbing.

  3. Pressure Relief Valve - In the end I had to get one installed just after the main line entered my property. This regulated the water pressure for my entire house. This was also rather expensive. Again being in a 10 story apartment this may not be a viable option. But 1 and 2 should be worth investigating.
