Here we propose a seismometer that is low cost and easy to construct, that can be used to detect this infrasonic frequency noise in our vicinity. The device is made from three main parts which are an optical mouse, PVC pipes, and an Arduino UNO.
A computer optical mouse is used to detect the seismic signal which is amplified using a cantilever. Therefore exploiting the sensitivity to detect the seismic activity.
