A vibration sensor having a moveable mass being suspended in a suspension member and being adapted to move in response to vibrations or accelerations. The moveable mass and the suspension member move together as a single element. The vibration sensor includes a damping arrangement having a damping fluid or gel. The moveable mass is arranged to interact directly or indirectly with the damping fluid or gel in order to reduce a mechanical resonance peak of the vibration sensor. The damping fluid or gel has a viscosity between 1000 cP and 100000 cP, is kept in position by capillary forces only, and is stable over time without tending to evaporate.
