ABSTRACT=<p>A set of various short artificial <italic>disturbances from rifle firings, car engine operation, car radio, shakings of the apparatus, etc.</italic>, were generated deliberately <italic>near our ELF recording stations</italic> in order to identify their footprint on the recordings of atmospheric electromagnetic radiation in the Schumann resonance (SR) band (from about 2–50 Hz). <italic>Such disturbances simulate anthropogenic noises from hunters, hikers, campers, etc., which may occur in a remote-isolated ELF recording station.</italic> We expect that our work will assist fellow scientists to differentiate between artificial signals created from anthropogenic activity and real signals attributable to geophysical phenomena.</p>
