Distances for fracking vibration

Does anyone have any articles or personal insight on how far detectable vibrations can travel from active well sites?

Asking because I live in a neighborhood adjacent to active wells (on private properties with leases), and I can hear vibrations throughout my house.

A map shows there are some reported active and non active wells located between 0.3 and 0.8 miles away. The vibration noise seems loud. Plus we can hear trucks and other noises. Is it really that easy to hear this much noise from 0.3 miles away or are they drilling new wells that are not on the map yet?

Another question I wondered about is how close does a well pad need to be to a property for these active vibrations to cause structural damage to adjacent homes?

If you have an articles or direct knowledge, I'd appreciate the info, thanks

Range Resources has signed a lease to put in 13 unconventional fracking wells in North Fayette

The Township is trying to show this down the residents throats. Saying there is nothing we can do to stop it. The permits with the DEP have not been filed yet. Most of the housing communities here have been built on abandoned coal mines. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this, or any legal resources we can call. TIA.

Lingo

New to fracking and e-frac applications: wondering if there was a list for some of the terminology that is used in the field, specifically what they are referring to. Examples: ASF (all shots fired) Pulsed Equalizing 1000’ surface 1000’ to MJ On Flush Shut in Wells

Etc, etc.

Small-scale liquefaction plants

I am thinking of moving to a house 3/4 a mile away from a small scale LGN storage plant.it is not downwind. I cannot find online if there are similar long term health risk as fracking operations. If anyone has insight on this matter I’d really appreciate it.

Morrocco just recently started fracking, and they don’t have a history of big earthquakes.

I'm officially going on the record

as representative for the Salt Fork BF Clan. As of yet no one from ODNR or any of it's subsidiary councils have done not anything..even suggested an environmental impact study. They are getting anxious, and that don't look good on a squatch.
