   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.
