With economic and population growth in recent decades, it has been possible to observe an increase of vehicles in urban areas, and associated with it an increase in health problems caused by the daily impact of equipment and vehicles in cities. Generally, the main impacts realized by the population are the vibration and noise, often caused by the intense traffic of vehicles, as well as the operation of mechanical equipment in industries or construction. Thus, this work aims to make a comparison between data that are generally obtained in the mining environment with data from urban area, both collected through seismic monitoring. The monitoring was developed in the urban area of Caçapava do Sul, and despite the noise levels observed in mining environment were significantly higher, some vibration levels collected in urban areas were equally high. This work shows that several factors may have influence on the monitoring, for example how to collect data or setup the equipment, and that many complaints attributed to mining operations may have actually been several sources within the city limits.
