Link rot had claimed the first source. Changed to link directly to the PIMS website where real-time vibration data is accessible.

I am not aware of any structural dynamics tests conducted on the ISS using crewmembers as 'excitation sources'. However, the ISS does have a build-in structural dynamics sensor systemstructural dynamics sensor system consisting of accelerometers and strain gauges. This paper describes some early tests where a laser imaging system was also used. Jet firings and spacecraft dockings probably provide more than enough excitation for the structural dynamics sensor system.
