Noise and vibration are both dynamic processes and have a close physical relationship. Vibrating systems make noise, and noise makes structural systems vibrate. Both noise and vibration are adversely affecting people and if sufficiently intense, both noise and vibration can permanently hurt people. At the same time, also structural systems, if excited by excessive noise and vibration over sufficient periods of time, can fatigue and fail.
