Floor vibration

Floor vibrations in buildings caused by walking, dancing, mechanical equipment or other rhythmic excitation may cause an annoyance to the occupants or impede the function of sensitive equipment.[1]

Three key parameters dominate human perception:[1]

Fundamental frequency
lower frequencies are more likely to be perceptible and irritating
Amplitude
the maximum displacement response to a reference excitation
Damping
dissipation in the floor structure that significantly reduces vibration amplitude
