Abstract
The influence of highintensity (110 dB) sound vibrations on experimental rats was studied on the behavior level. Classical behavioral tests (open field, hole board, light–dark box) were used to examine behavioral changes during 5min acoustic impact of either audible or infrasound spectrum. Statistically sig nificant changes in locomotor activity and grooming reactions were observed, following either aural or infra sound impact. The set of observed effects could be classified as active avoidance reaction.
