The number of people affected by noise and vibration are increased by the days, and the quality of life are significantly reduced. Therefore a better understanding of the mechanism generating low frequency noise and vibration and the attitude of general public toward the perception of these two sources will be helpful in establishing regulations to enhance quality of life. This research first collected the vibration regulations around the world, whereas, only the low frequency noise regulation are enforced domestically, and there is no law toward vibration regulation and the structure-borne sound associated with it. Therefore, vibration regulation must be established t to make the relating low frequency noise and vibration more more soundly regulated. In other countries, for example Western Europe, vibration regulations are more toward traffic system and most of them use ISO-2631 as their standard for measuring and evaluating vibration exposure. For in harmony with international trend, it is suggesting that the domestic law shall be proposed using this standard. In this research, is it conclude that the cases that the main cause that we have studied with low frequency noise complaint is the structure-borne related sound. And with laboratory experiment, it is found that 52dB with 95% confidence interval is the threshold for the perception of structure-borne sound, which confirms the result from 103 year’s study. Therefore, it is suggested that the follow-on studied use this value as a base to collect more low frequency noise complaint cases and more lab experiment related to the threshold of perception, to established the vibration limits for the related regulations, and therefore further enhance the quality of life for general public.
