Repetition – a task or activity is performed over and over again. There is no information about why this is being done.
Rehearsal – a task or activity is performed over and over again, by humans, so that they can perform this task later at an expert level.
So for instance – the machine performs a task over and over again in order to produce a certain effect. It doesn’t do it so that it can become better in the future. That is what rehearsal is for. So, when an actor or a musician is doing the same thing over and over again, it is rehearsal.

It’s funny, in russian we have “repeticia” (репетиция), which is pronounced nearly like “repetition”, but has meaning of “rehearsal”
