The more you filter the higher frequencies out the less small local events you
will see.
If you look at http://www.geonet.org.nz/drums/snzo-drum.gif and
http://aslwww.cr.usgs.gov/Seismic_Data/telemetry_data/SNZO_24hr.gif you will
see that the first one shows local events while the second shows teleseisms.
Both traces come from the same sensor, the Geonet display showing the data with
all the long period stuff filtered out and the usgs one showing the same data
with all the high frequencies filtered out.
