Marine vibrators and methods of use are disclosed. A marine vibrator (5) may comprise a containment housing (90), where the containment housing comprises a marine vibrator internal volume, wherein the marine vibrator internal volume comprises a first gas at a first gas pressure. The marine vibrator may further comprise a sound radiating surface (21). The marine vibrator may additionally comprise a compliance chamber (10) in contact with the first gas, wherein the compliance chamber comprises a chamber housing and a moveable structure, wherein at least the chamber housing and the moveable structure form a compliance chamber internal volume which holds a second gas at a second gas pressure, wherein the moveable structure is configured to move in response to a change in the first gas pressure, and wherein the compliance chamber is configured to condense the second gas in response to compression of the marine vibrator internal volume by the moveable structure. |
