Vibroacoustic disease has been characterized by scientists in Portugal as direct tissue damage to a variety of organs by high-amplitude infrasound and low-frequency noise, creating thickening of supporting structures, particularly in the heart and lungs, and other pathological changes. It is different from wind turbine syndrome.
