Abstract
For the past two years we have been engaged in a program of seismic noise measurements in deep boreholes; noise in a frequency range of approximately 0.2 to 5.0 cps has been studied. A special deep‐well seismometer designed by The Geotechnical Corporation has been used for recording noise at depths down to 14,000 ft in cased holes. The seismometer, which has a response almost identical to the typical short‐period Benioff, was clamped to the casing of the deep hole by a mechanical locking arm during observation periods. An identical seismometer has been used as a reference in a 500‐ft hole adjacent to the deep well. A surface array of four vertical Benioff seismometers was also recorded, with one seismometer near the well and three others at distances ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 km. Two horizontal seismometers were stationed near the wellhead.
