  abstract = {{W}e study the nature of energy bursts that appeared in the frequency range 3-5 {H}z in ambient seismic noise recorded in the {G}renoble basin ({F}rench {A}lps) during a seismological array experiment. {A} close agreement is found between the identified azimuths of such noise bursts with the location of an industrial chimney. {I}n-situ measurements of the chimney dynamic characteristics show a coincidence between the frequency of the first harmonic mode of the chimney and the fundamental frequency of a thin surficial layer that overlay the deep sediment fill. {T}he interaction between the chimney and the surfical layer is then numerically simulated using simple impedance models, and two geotechnical profiles. {S}imulations exhibit a satisfactory agreement with observations and suggest that energy bursts result of inertial structure-soil interaction favored by resonance effects between the first harmonic mode of the structure and the fundamental frequency of the topmost layer.},
