Re: OT what is that vibrating sensation you get when you lightly touch the metal on a mains appliance?

If you're saying you feel it on every appliance you touch then it
indicates a fault in you :-)

If it's a specific appliance then tell us more about it.

Are you talking bare metal or insulated?

What if you touch a plastic part of the same appliance?

It could be an earth fault (the conclusion most other posters have
somehow jumped to) or a mechanical vibration. It's impossible to say
without further information.

Or an earth fault in the house?
