Abstract

Observations of variations in seismic and acoustic noise of the Earth has shown the effec-tiveness of passive seismic monitoring in the study of endogenous geodynamic processes and their connection with the intensity of acoustic emission. In Vorotilovskaya deep well (Nizhny Novgorod region, Russia) recorded the «earth noise» in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 5 kHz. The noise of this kind is usually associated with the features of tectonics and petrophysical prop-erties of rocks. In mid-August, 2017 extraordinary seismoacoustical signals were registered that are presumably associated with the interaction of highly energetic particles, in particular, neutri-nos with the rocks or the possible influence of unidentified sources, including technogenic.
