  Hi Folks,  A while back I asked for help in determining the source of =
some noise showing up on my Helicorder.   This is an update to that =
question.
  I have excluded auto traffic, as the noise happens weather it is =
weekends or work days, at about the same time.
  I have excluded the schools in the area for the same reasons
  I have excluded construction for the same reason.

  I am not 100 percent sure of these exclusions, but for the most part, =
I think it is something else.

  I have gone back several days on the Helicorder to see if I could find =
patterns, and I have found that all is quiet starting about 5:00 pm =
local time, 00 UTC.  Things remain quiet until 08:35 am, 15:35 UTC.   =
During the hours 8:00 am to 5:00 pm the noise comes and goes sometimes =
lasting less than one mins and sometimes lasting 5 to 10 mins.

  The sensor, a Lehman, is in my basement.  It is on a concrete floor =
next to a concrete wall, and the house above is wood and brick.
  Could this noise be the sun?  At about the time the noise begins the =
sun rises above the trees and shines on the east side of our house, =
which is also the wall near the sensor.
  Could this warming of the wood and bricks, above the basement, and =
their expansion cause the noise.  As the clouds block the sun during the =
day, might this cause the intermittent noise during the day?   The noise =
stops about the time the sun no longer hit the house.

  I could test this theory on a overcast day and I will do so, but I =
just wanted to get your input.
