Silencing unwanted vibrations: unlocking the best strategies

Many of you ask us about vibration that comes into your home from neighbors or businesses. This can include fans, air conditioners, HVAC systems, and other mechanical equipment.
Soundproofist contacted Al Fierstein, owner of Acoustilog: he's a leading acoustical consultant in New York City. We discuss how most vibration is also noise, and identify the most-effective to least-effective ways of dealing with it.

Al answers these questions:
Does rubber flooring in an upstairs apartment block noise that comes from downstairs?
Can you stop vibrations coming into your apartment by putting your furniture on anti-vibration pads?
How can you tell the difference between a noise problem and a vibration problem?
