Abstract (en)
A massage device (10) comprises a massage housing (100) and a vibration generating source (160). The massage device is characterised in that the massage device further comprises a vibration filter (140, 150, 770). The vibration filter may comprise a suspension (140, 150) that is coupled between the massage housing (100) and the vibration generating source (160). The vibration filter may further comprises a flexible skin (770) covering the massage device (10). With the vibration filter a transfer of the vibration frequency components from the vibration generating source to the outside air is influenced in that vibrations that are not effective for the massage but are contributing to a noisy sound are dampened.
