Not really .... rumble is low frequency noise generated by the turntable ... typically the bearing, belt, motor, pulley, belt, etc. Some records may actually have rumble existing in the master tapes ... perhaps from a poor bearing in the cutter.
I think the general concepts have been defined above. But what I was saying previously, about the stock cartridge is pretty key to your issue, as far as I'm concerned. Read this (although there are, I believe, some issues with the inputs used in the calculations presented):
http://www.theanalogdept.com/cartridge___arm_matching.htm If your cartridge / tonearm combination results in that frequency being in the range of rumble .... or record warp .... or footfall ... you'll hear it. And as I was saying, it looks like the stock cartridge does just that.
In terms of speaker placement ... don't have the speakers on the opposite side of the room facing the turntable. Don't have the turntable sitting out in front of the speakers. Take the dust cover of the turntable when it is in use (or at least close the dustcover) In other words don't do anything that promotes the stylus picking up vibrations from the speakers. How far away? Usually it isn't an issue, because the general rule of thumb is the speakers and you, the listener, should form an equilateral triangle. So how far do you sit away from the speakers ... 10 feet? 6 feet? So how far away is the speaker from the components? 2 to 4 feet? But of course set-ups quite often are not ideal. I have a long low, long stand that has 2 turntables, 2 amps, etc. on it, so my turntables sit to each side of my stand with speakers right next to them. I've had some issues with woofers 'pumping' when cycling turntables / cartridges through the setup but generally, with good matches, I don't have any issues.
