Its called headbobbing and they do it when they're protecting their territory or they feel threatened. Its a way of saying "Hey this is mine!" or "Go away, I dont feel safe right now" so its not really a good thing.
My female tort bobs her head at me cuz she's not tame yet.... She also hisses... But I love her anyway.

when turtles shake there head like that they are trying to warn predators to stay away and to show dominance over other turtles.

Turtles do not hear- they see and can sense vibrations. When they feel a vibration, they look for what caused it. They also bob their heads as they breath.
