Most of the vibratory hammers are driven by a seperate generator, where a diesel engine pumps hydraulic oil to the hammer. This has the typical generator sound. The hammer itself has a sound that varies from very quite to a heavy sound like an air-hammer.
True, it doesn't slam like a traditional pile hammer, but since the majority of engineers still call Vibratory drivers/extractors by the generalized term "Hammers", it 's kind of stuck. Much like how "T.V.s" still are called "TV Sets" by some people, even though TVs have been integrated since the 30s
Also, some of the variable movement hammers still hit, just with less force and more frequency, like the difference between a carpenter's claw hammer and a sledge

This is not a hammer since it does not slam or bang. I dont know why the call it a hammer. I call it a vibrator.
