Hi Ted,

       This sounds much more like convection noise due to air movement. What 
sorts of seismometer cases are you using? The recommended  is 2" Celotex glued 
airtight with polyurethene foam grouting. This thick board has a polystyrene 
core covered by glass scrim and Al foil. You can add double layer mylar 
windows. You buy clear copy film for use with laser printers.

       Regards,
