Vibration and noise can come from many different sources. People moving, cars and trucks driving on the roadway, excavators digging, the wind blowing, sound, compaction equipment on the ground, and jack hammers and hoe rams breaking concrete to mention a few. All hydro poles, gas mains, sewers, water mains, bridges, roadways, houses, buildings, and railways are affected by this vibration to greater or lesser degrees. If sound or vibration levels get too large then things could be damaged and broken. Vibration that does not damage is said to be elastic motion and when damage is done, it is referred to as non-elastic motion.
