Noise/Vibration

The human ear senses air molecules in motion: the person hears a sound. Solid bodies, such as e.g. ceilings, in motion can be perceived with the whole body: the person senses vibration.

 

"Most persons like and tolerate only that type of noise that they either seek or produce by themselves."

Noise as well as vibration have common causes and often occur together at the same place, which is the reason why they are treated together in immission control.
