1. A method of testing a seismic sensor, comprising:
- measuring an output of the seismic sensor in response to a test signal applied by a signal generator;
according to a first function that corresponds to a reference response of the seismic sensor and according to a second function that corresponds to a signal containing noise in an environment of the seismic sensor, creating a filter to perform attenuation of the noise; and
applying the filter to attenuate the noise in the output of the seismic sensor during testing of the seismic sensor.

Abstract
To test a seismic sensor, an output of the seismic sensor in response to a test signal applied by a signal generator is measured. According to a first function that corresponds to a reference response of the seismic sensor and according to a second function that corresponds to a signal containing noise in an environment of the seismic sensor, a filter is created to perform attenuation of the noise. The filter is applied to attenuate noise during testing of the seismic sensor.
