Do you how fast these waves travel versus sound in the atmosphere? Or, how these waves themselves might sound qualitatively when they shake nearby structures in the air?
On more than one occasion, I think I've anticipated an earthquake based on sound. I can only describe it like an approaching but amorphous activity, a bit like when large flocks of birds take to flight over an open field or when a wind gust goes through a forest.
I think I've noticed this sound only with relatively nearby epicenters (5-25 miles). The very distant ones usually seem more silent and my first recognition is the jiggle and displacement, or perhaps the creaking sounds of the surrounding structure if I am indoors.
