Abstract
Abstract Seismic measuring stations do not only record seismic waves. They also pick up tremors caused by other factors: these are known as seismic background noise. In normal conditions, this environmental background is steady over a long time. This article presents the influence of high reduction of human activity due to COVID-19 initial lockdown on ground vibration in the Large Hadron Collider tunnel at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Summary
C Seismic monitoring setups and stations are used A to record seismic waves. They can pick up tremors caused by other sources known as seismic background noise. Human activity is partly responsible for these continuous movements of the ground. R traffic or industrial activities will cause an additional response of the ground motion. Due to periodic human activity, their impact is typically greater during the work-. T days and lower at nights and during the weekends. Waves and weather cause the Earth to vibrate constantly. International studies have shown that levels of human-induced seismic background noise have decreased
