Effect of vibration sense by frequency characteristics of impact vibration for residential floor
Abstract
Abstract In this research, we examined the effects that the frequency characteristics of impact vibration in a residential floor have on the vibration sense of humans. We obtained the following results: (i) a frequency of 30 Hz or more affects the vibration sense of humans; (ii) the influence of the broadband waveform on the vibration sense of humans is larger than that of the narrowband waveform; and (iii) for the broadband waveform but not for the narrowband, even a small vibration of approximately 4‐5 dB is perceptible.
