∙ 15y agoMagnitude 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly imperceptible, or incapable of being separated from background tremors such as industrial sounds, traffic, blasting, avalanches and so forth. It is possible to record an earth tremor without recognizing it for what it was, and thus the lower limit of detection is unknown.
