However, since the vibration generating apparatus is characterized by utilizing the resonance of the system, there are the following problems.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a DC power supply, and reference numeral 16 denotes an oscillation circuit, which comprises a transistor 17, a microcomputer 18, and the like. A pulse signal that repeats energization and energization stop is applied to the transistor 17 from the CPU 18, and a current having the same frequency as the frequency of the pulse signal flows through the coil 14. By energizing the coil 14 in this manner, the magnet 1
1 and the coil 14 vibrate due to the electromagnetic force, and as a result, the first vibration system and the second vibration system vibrate.

Further, the frequency of the pulse signal is swept at regular time intervals. Specifically, the pulse signal can be changed at a certain frequency width. When the CPU 18 gives a pulse signal of the first frequency to the transistor 17 to cause the vibration generator to vibrate at, for example, 70 Hz in accordance with the resonance frequency of the first vibration system, the CPU 18 passes through the first plate-like elastic body 9. The device itself resonates in synchronization with the resonance frequency to generate bodily sensation vibration. This makes it possible to make a call that is silent and does not bother others.

Further, the CPU 18 supplies a pulse signal of the second frequency to the transistor 17 so that the vibration generator can be adjusted to, for example, the resonance frequency of the second vibration system.
When vibrated at 7 kHz, the device itself resonates in synchronization with the resonance frequency, generates a ringing tone, and acts as a speaker.

By changing the setting of the resonance frequencies of the first vibration system and the second vibration system, it is preferable that the frequency of the vibrating call felt by the body be 250 Hz or less and the frequency of the ringing sound be 600 Hz or more. The reason why the frequency is set to 600 Hz or more is that ISO 226 (196)
This is because, based on the equal landness curve of 1), if the vibration is made at 600 Hz or more, the sound can be heard by a human ear at a low sound pressure level.
