Hi Tom,

       The peaks could either be real, which I suspect, aldhough I don't 
understand how they would be generated.
       Alternatively, they might be due to inadequate damping of the 
geophones and their responding resonantly to noise. However, I would expect that they 
would have top be grossly underdamped to produce the effect. 
       They might also be of a higher frequency leaking a subharmonic past 
the low pass filter, but they would need to be large to start with.

       Regards,

       Chris
