         4 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein
 the housing fastening portion and the first bracket fastening portion are configured to receive the fastening member in a front and rear direction or an up and down direction.   
     
     
         5 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein
 the housing fastening portion includes a housing fastening hole formed to be penetrated in a front and rear direction, and   the first bracket fastening portion includes a first bracket fastening hole formed to be penetrated in the front and rear direction based on the first sensor bracket being coupled to the housing.   
     
     
         6 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein
 the housing fastening portion includes a housing fastening hole formed to be penetrated in an up and down direction, and   the first bracket fastening portion includes a first bracket fastening hole formed to be penetrated in the up and down direction based on the first sensor bracket being coupled to the housing.   
     
     
         7 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein
 the first sensor bracket includes a coupling hole through which the housing fastening portion passes based on the first sensor bracket being coupled to the housing.   
     
     
         8 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein
 the first sensor bracket includes a first sensor accommodating portion in which the first sensor is accommodated and fixed.   
     
     
         9 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein
 the housing includes:
 a frame configured to cover at least one side of the tub, and 
 a reinforcing bracket configured to reinforce the frame, and 
   the first sensor bracket is coupled to the reinforcing bracket.   
     
     
         10 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first sensor is coupled to an upper end of the housing above the tub.   
     
     
         11 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first sensor is between the drying device and the tub with respect to an up and down direction.   
     
     
         12 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first sensor is coupled to a front end of the upper end of the housing.   
     
     
         13 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a door configured to open and close the laundry inlet,   wherein the first sensor is configured to detect a vibration generated from the door and transmitted to the housing.   
     
     
         14 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein
 the first sensor is configured to detect a vibration generated from the drying device and transmitted to the housing.   
     
     
         15 . The clothes treating apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising:
