1. A vibrating device comprising:
a vibrating element including a vibrating body that is tubular and includes a first opening end surface and a second opening end surface;
a support that extends in an axial direction and supports the vibrating body, the axial direction being a direction connecting the first opening end surface and the second opening end surface of the vibrating body; and
a connector that connects the vibrating body and the support to each other; wherein
the vibrating body vibrates in a breathing vibration mode to generate a first node and a second node on the vibrating element at different positions in the axial direction; and
the connector is positioned between the first node and the second node.
