A proposal for a Nordtest method of measurement of annoying vibrations has been tested in 6 different buildings. The source of vibration was heavy traffic such as trucks and railway traffic. The result of the measurements, the subjective sensation and the threshold of sensation have been compared and the correlation was good. A simple solution to avoid annoying vibrations has not been found. There are too many factors that influence the strength of the vibration in a building: the distance between the source and the building; the mass and speed of the vehicle; the roughness of the road surface; soiltype and water contents of the ground; and the foundation, the stiffness and the resonances in the building.
