It rumbles as you are about to stop, well that depends.

if there is a vibration AS you are applying the brakes, and about to reach a stop, it could be that your brake rotors need machining, or "turned"; however, in this case, you would also hear a grinding, as well as feel the grinding through your foot.

there is also a "rumbling" associated with a strut mount gone bad; however, this is more of an audible clanking, and is also audible when driving slow on a bumpy road, and not really specifically in the process of stopping.

for either of these, please stop using your radio, and possibly open the windows, to better describe the sound.

IF the car shakes when sitting at a stoplight, or such, please watch your rpm gauge (tachometer), and see if the idle speed is exceptionally low or erratic.

if this is the case, it may be that your throttle positioning sensor, mass airflow sensor, or the like, is malfunctioning, and is giving a warm engine a fuel/air mix appropriate for a cold engine.

My 04 trailblazer intermittently sounds like it is running over a rumble strip, then it stops after applying brakes a few times

What would a "rumble strip" sound like? Squeaking, metal clanking against metal? Trailblazers have lots of noises that are a nuisance, and I've fixed most of them.

I ha ve a grand am 97 when i acelered to 40,000 rpm the motor rumble and go down to 30,000 rpm and go up and down i don't know what happen

You must mean 4000 to 3000rpm. A 1997? Unless it was't taken good care of it shouldn't have hurt it. A lot of front wheel drives have "rumbles" from normal wear and tear. Check all of the belts and pumps for any things that may unbalance the motor such as loose belts or the devices themselves. Automatic transmissions can make this rumble too. Do not go that high in acceleration unless motor has a load on it for that vehicle being old.
