Investigations of the debatable problem on relationship between strong
magnetic storms, caused by the Solar flares, and seismicity variations is
being continued. Data on time relations of seismic noise (average level,
mean square deviation), registered by seismic stations of KNET network
(Nothern Tien Shan), have been used. The result indicating high
sensitivity of seismic noise in the frequency range of 10-20 Hz to
external, in particular to electromagnetic effect, in comparison with
seismic activity are presented. The effects of magnetic storms, that took
place after strong and very strong Solar flares in 2000-2006, are
determined. The obtained results agree with the data on the relation
between seismicity and magnetic storms. Models for the mechanisms of
possible effect of telluric currents, induced during strong magnetic
storms, on the seismic process are discussed.
