Vibration & Noise Effects on Human Health

Help - Noise Pollution is DeafeningThe effect of vibration and noise on human health are mostly common in nature but with a difference. Sound/Noise is created due to variation in pressure which, in a way, is product of vibration and we know that the vibration generates the sound/ Noise; therefore both of these can not be separated with regards to effect on human health.

We can also describe the combined effect of noise and vibration, on human health, which is demonstrated in loosing the balance of human body due to giddiness or nausea (seasickness). The very fact of this phenomenon is - due to vibration, the fluid (endolymph and perilymph) in back of human head (inner ear) responsible for maintaining balance gets disturbed which gets further aggravated due to noise and the person feels nausea, irritation and looses the balance which results in falling on ground/surface..

VIBRATION INDUCED EFFECTS

Vibration may be considered as the oscillating motion of the particle or body about a reference position. This motion can be periodic, random or transient.

Periodic function:
This motion is periodic in which it repeat itself at regular interval of time. It may be a sinusoidal wave or square wave.

Random Vibration:
Most commonly encountered type of vibration in everyday life is known as random vibration. It is continuous but non-periodic and contains many frequency components.

Transient Vibration:
A transient vibration is non continuous, it occurs due to impact, or during the starting of a motor. A transient vibration is often deterministic.
