Abstract
The influence of acoustic noise in the environment is well known, but ground vibration has been less studied, especially underwater. A program measuring anthropogenic noise and vibration started in 2010, led by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Teddington, UK. Unlike acoustic pressure waves, waves in solids take various forms, one of which is usefully described as a “ground roll,” including the large waves that damage buildings even when well away from earthquake epicenters.
