So, you are talking about vibrations generated by the bearing, rather than those fed to the bearing. There are two sets of bearing contact faces. Those attached to the platter spindle and those attached to the TT base (unless you are dealing with an inverted bearing) and these are separated by lubricant as I earlier indicated, any noise generated here would be rumble. The effects of lubricant would still be a factor.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
