High-frequency noise is removed from a strong motion record by

  • A.high-pass filtering
  • B.differentiating the record twice
  • C.increasing the sampling rate
  • D.low-pass filtering

Answer: D

Correct answer: low-pass filtering

A low-pass filter passes the low frequencies and attenuates those above the chosen corner, so it removes high-frequency noise while leaving the engineering-significant motion intact. High-pass filtering does the opposite and is used at the other end of the band, to remove long-period drift before integration. Differentiating would amplify the noise, and raising the sampling rate merely records it more faithfully.
