Is there any vibration similar to driving over a rumble strip at the edge of the road?

From the description you provide it could be anything.

But one thing that can cause a noise under different vehicle speeds/engine RPM’s is loose heat shield.

Alternators can make weird, intermittent noises like that. There may not be anything wrong w/alternator, just what it does. Good idea however to ask your shop to do a basic battery/alternator test, and a look-see at the alternator pulley and belt condition. Make sure the pulley isn’t wobbling and in line (the same plane) with the other pulleys.

A short length of garden hose can sometimes be useful as a sort of stethoscope to narrow down the location of a suspect sound, if it occurs when engine is idling.

@lion9car 's idea above is a good one to also consider.

Or, the OP could “splurge” and buy an automotive stethoscope for $7.99:
