  abstract = {{W}e study anthropogenic noise sources seen on seismic recordings along the central section of the {S}an {J}acinto fault near {A}nza, southern {C}alifornia. {T}he strongest signals are caused by freight trains passing through the {C}oachella {V}alley north of {A}nza. {T}rain-induced transients are observed at distances of up to 50 km from the railway, with durations of up to 20 min, and spectra that are peaked between 3 and 5 {H}z. {A}dditionally, truck traffic through the {C}oachella {V}alley generates a sustained hum with a similar spectral signature as the train transients but with lower amplitude. {W}e also find that wind turbine activity in northern {B}aja {C}alifornia introduces a seasonal modulation of 1- to 5-{H}z energy across the {A}nza network. {W}e show that the observed train-generated transients can be used to constrain shallow attenuation structure at {A}nza. {U}sing the results from this study as well as available borehole data, we further evaluate the performance of approaches that have been used to detect nonvolcanic tremor at {A}nza. {W}e conclude that signals previously identified as spontaneous tremor ({H}utchison and {G}hosh, 2017) were probably generated by other nontectonic sources such as trains.},
