We compute the relative localization volumes of the vibrational eigenmodes in two-dimensional systems with a regular body but irregular boundaries under Dirichlet and under Neumann boundary conditions. We find that localized states are rare under Dirichlet boundary conditions but very common in the Neumann case. In order to explain this difference, we utilize the fact that under Neumann conditions the integral of the amplitudes, carried out over the whole system area is zero. We discuss, how this condition leads to many localized states in the low-frequency regime and show by numerical simulations, how the number of the localized states and their localization volumes vary with the boundary roughness.
