Thomas,

Sure look like microseisms to me.  Those were from Nov 30, last year, 
and in the winter they can get rather large, and then a few days 
later can almost disappear.

Let's see how big they were:
 From the first chart it looks like they generated a voltage of about 
250 microvolts peak to peak.  Given a typical seismometer sensitivity 
of 1500 Vs/m that implies a velocity of 167 nanometers per second 
p-p.  They had a period of about 7.5 seconds, which is right at the 
microseism frequency peak.  That lets us compute the amplitude of the 
ground motion to be about 200 nanometers p-p.  If the diameter of a 
hair is 70um, then these vibrations were about 1/350 of that 
dimension, completing one vibration every 7.5 seconds.  I doubt if 
very many people could feel that.

I hope someone will check my numbers, but I believe they are not too far off.

Regards,
Brett
