Oil pump pickup is located exactly where the bright spot in the pan is. The pickup is installed as 2 pieces with the pickup adjustable for height from the floor of the sump by rotating the pickup tube..
If pressed only, it can drift lower to the pan. If tack welded or bracket and tacked and is not checked afterwards, the pickup can wind up too low and an edge could touch the pan.
Any vibration is dampened by the oil in the sump and the sound of the pickup vibrating against the pan can make a scuffing sound. In cadence with nearest crank counterweight.
