Engineering summary
QuakeLogic's SIS-1 infrasound sensor detects sub-audible acoustic waves from earthquakes, volcanoes, explosions and machinery, supported by dataloggers and PulsePro software.
In short: The SIS-1 infrasound sensor measures low-frequency sound waves below the range of human hearing so that earthquakes, thunderstorms, volcanic eruptions, explosions, gunshots, avalanches, landslides and worn machinery can be detected at a distance. QuakeLogic pairs the SIS-1 with analog dataloggers and PulsePro real-time monitoring software for environmental monitoring, security and surveillance, and industrial condition monitoring.
Infrasound sensors are crucial tools in the field of sound detection, enabling researchers and professionals to measure low-frequency sound waves that are often undetectable by the human ear. These sensors play a vital role in various applications across seismic research, environmental monitoring, defense, nuclear proliferation detection, avalanche and landslide monitoring, and more. Understanding the importance of measuring low frequencies can significantly enhance our ability to predict and respond to natural and man-made events.
Why Measure Low Frequencies?
- Seismic Research: Infrasound sensors can detect low-frequency waves generated by earthquakes, providing early warning systems that can save lives and minimize property damage.
- Environmental Monitoring: From thunderstorms to volcanic eruptions, infrasound sensors help track and analyze natural events, contributing to our understanding of Earth’s processes.
- Defense and Security: Infrasound detection is instrumental in identifying security threats such as gunshots, explosions, and other unusual activities, enhancing surveillance and defense capabilities.
- Nuclear Proliferation Detection: Infrasound sensors can detect nuclear tests from great distances, supporting global efforts to monitor and prevent unauthorized nuclear activities.
- Avalanche and Landslide Monitoring: Early detection of low-frequency sounds from avalanches and landslides can provide critical information for disaster preparedness and response.
- Industrial Monitoring: Monitoring machinery and equipment using infrasound sensors can help detect early signs of wear and tear, preventing costly downtime and ensuring operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
An infrasound sensor measures acoustic pressure waves at frequencies below the threshold of human hearing. These low-frequency waves are produced by earthquakes, thunderstorms, volcanic eruptions, explosions, gunshots, avalanches, landslides and heavy machinery, and because they attenuate slowly they can be detected far from the source. The SIS-1 is QuakeLogic's sensor for this band.
The SIS-1 infrasound sensor is used for environmental monitoring of natural events such as earthquakes, thunderstorms and volcanic activity; for security and surveillance, where it identifies infrasound from gunshots, explosions or other unusual activity; and for industrial monitoring, where vibrations and noise from machinery reveal early wear and the need for maintenance before costly downtime occurs.
Explosions, including nuclear tests, release energy at very low acoustic frequencies that travel great distances through the atmosphere with little attenuation. Infrasound sensors can therefore detect such events from far away, which is why infrasound monitoring supports global efforts to detect unauthorized nuclear activity and why defense and security teams use it to identify blasts and gunfire.
Beyond the sensor itself, QuakeLogic offers analog dataloggers to digitize and store the SIS-1 output, and PulsePro real-time monitoring software for continuous observation and immediate analysis of infrasound data so operators can respond quickly to detected anomalies. Together the sensor, datalogger and software form a complete low-frequency acoustic monitoring chain.
Yes. Avalanches and landslides emit low-frequency sound as mass moves, and detecting those signals early provides critical information for disaster preparedness and response. An infrasound sensor such as the SIS-1, installed with a datalogger and real-time software, can register these events and alert responders before visual confirmation is possible.
