Abstract
Humans perceive whole-body vibration in many daily life situations. Often they are exposed to whole-body vibration in combination with acoustic events. Sound and vibration usually stem from the same source, for example the bass drums at a concerts or traveling in vehicles, such as automobiles, aircraft, or ships. While we can describe acoustic stimuli using psychoacoustic descriptors such as loudness or timbre, the description of human perception of whole body vibration frequently has been reduced to comfort or quality in the past. Unlike loudness or timbre, comfort and quality are dependent on the overall context. Especially in vehicles, expectations might differ a lot between different vehicle classes. Previous studies have evaluated a large range of suitable descriptors for whole-body vibrations that are independent of context. They suggest that certain descriptors are driven to a large extent by the frequency content of the vibration. This study systematically investigates the influence of frequency content on the perception of whole-body vibration using varying frequency content and intensity of the vibrations. The results verify the frequency dependence of specific descriptors and identify the respective frequency ranges.
