Yes, although the resonances are the result of the energy storage and mechanical stresses. The higher the density, the more severe the problems. The hard case acts somewhat as a reflector to the mechanical waves. Most electrolytics can be improved a great deal with a high mass wrap such as lead or soft tin, affixed with a visco-elastic adhesive such as silicone, to help dissipate this electro-mechanical energy. Some of the high-rel electrolytics used to contain a tar-like substance to stabilize the plate assembly inside, and it acted to help dissipate mechanical and thermal energy as well. That coupled with much thicker and softer aluminum cases, and much thicker and softer aluminum plates. And copper leads instead of the steel mainly used now.
