Well, "your" (their) unqualified minimum wage worker uses a tool that wasn't meant for removing siding and ends up vibrating half my wall down and you're claiming it's not your fault?

Another way to think of impact transmission is to imagine an HVAC unit vibrating away on the roof right above you.

Another thing that I've heard is that when a lot of these houses were built, they weren't designed to carry the weight and vibration of the major appliances we have today. 

Avoid combo washer/dryers and avoid leased equipment if you can.Most commercial units require a solid base (like a concrete or spancrete pad) to minimize vibrations, a 2"-3" water main, and a 6" drain. 

Im sending some positive vibrations your way!!!

Plus, the vibrations from trains over a long period of time can cause foundation shifting/damage if your property is close by.  

Once we expanded to a nightclub with a DJ we began closing at 2am, at that point we'd receive a complaint from a tenant about the loud vibrating bass maybe once every other week, but the folks complaining were regulars in the business and thought it was worth one or too loud nights for the advantages of living next door to a trendy restaurant/bar/club.

If there is no connection to vibrate this will be your sound reduction.

The bigger collars will vibrate as well as beep. 

Outside my room there are two lights similar to these HID Wallpacks 400W - 26W that are buzzing/vibrating against my wall and the noise comes into the room.
