Problems of numerical errors in the identification and estimation procedures of vibroacoustic phenomena are discussed in the hereby paper. The main attention is focussed on problems of errors generated by different algebras governing experimentally recognisable vibroacoustic effects and the algebra applied in the utilisation of procedures of their processing. Assessment of errors for elementary operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying and raising to a power - is derived. The problem of their presence in the current model solutions as well as in the implications for processes: cognitive, experimental (testing conditions) and their implementation is discussed. The postulate of the necessity of supplementing assessments of the measurement uncertainty in vibroacoustic examinations with assessments of the numerical uncertainty - are formulated. Various ways of looking for solving this problem are outlined. References to Author's and co-authors' own investigations - in this field - are also done.
