While fluid percolates through porous media in infinitesimal volume  generates the noise of the power  in a wide frequency range:

\delta N = A(f) \cdot {\bf u} \cdot \nabla p \cdot \delta V 

where

flow velocity

fluid pressure

normalised noise spectrum, 

noise frequency


While propagating through the rocks the different frequencies will decay at different rate   and if noise sensor is located at  then the it will capture:

\delta N_S = \int_V A(f) \cdot {\bf u} \cdot \nabla p \cdot \exp[-r/\lambda(f)] \cdot \delta V
