Gonna guess they are set to the same rate and the slight shake of the table probably gets them synced up.

Yep! It's sorta like they succumb to peer pressure. Same thing happened to the Millennium Bridge in London. Bridge started to sway a little bit, eventually people unconsciously stepped with the sway which only increased it. They had to shut down the bridge to apply dampeners due to the massive forces so many people stepping in unison was doing.

So, what you're saying is one bullys the others until they all do what the first one wanted?

They are all female metronomes and they all have their period at the same time like women in prison.

Yup, the table is vibrating at a resonant frequency for an individual metronome. They will all synch to the same rate as you can see.
