Vibration suppression apparatus

A method for reducing vibrations perceived by a human due to an artificial heart valve, the method comprising:

• providing a setup vest that is wearable around a torso of the human, the setup vest having a first plurality of sensors and a first plurality of vibration-generating actuators that are repositionable on the setup vest;
• conducting a calibration session to customize a placement of the first plurality of sensors and the first plurality of vibration-generating actuators on the setup vest;
• and
• providing a vest to the human, the vest having a second plurality of sensors and a second plurality of vibration-generating actuators mounted on the vest according to the placement of the first plurality of sensors and the first plurality of vibration-generating actuators on the setup vest from the calibration session;
• wherein at least one sensor of the second plurality of sensors is located near at least one vibration-generating actuator of the second plurality of vibration-generating actuators to form a sensor/actuator set.
