Thanks for the answers.

@Angel
This is 15mnts results with the geophone in the horizontal position.

@J=F3n
I do have a lot of noise >5Hz due living in a urban area, but the noise i=
=B4m
worried about is below 0.1Hz. The 50Hz noise comes from the electrical
grid, here in Portugal the electrical grid works at 50Hz, other countries
usually work at 60Hz. I dont know how long i have the 50Hz issue, i=B4m usi=
ng
28SPS for almost 6 months, only yesterday i increased the sample rate and
found out this issue.

Whatever i did yesterday, the results got worse <0.1Hz.

Best Regards,
Tiago.

Hi,

This might be traffic (car, trains, people) or wind noise. This noise is common from 3Hz and upwards. If you see period change in the noise
during the day and weekend, it is traffic noise from cars nearby. But
this type of sensors can pick up car noise from up to 5 km away if the
ground allows for it (mud, clay type of soil).

Best regards,
J=F3n Fr=EDmann.
