Abstract

A vibration damping system for a vehicle includes a vibration sensor which detects vibration of a particular vibrating element, an actuator which applies vibration to the particular vibrating element and a controller which receives a vibration signal output from the vibration sensor and controls the actuator to apply to the particular vibrating element such vibration that damps the vibration detected by the vibration sensor. The controller is provided with a sensitivity changing circuit which changes the sensitivity of the vibration sensor according to a predetermined condition of the vehicle.
