Well, actually capacitors don't *regulate voltage* in the first place.
The capacitance can vary with vibration - which can have implications
depending on the circuit the capacitor is placed in. It won't have any
effect of significance for power supply decoupling - if that's what you
mean.
The least affected caps are probably plastic film types.
