We recently moved to the northwest area of Santa Fe and hear a constant, low, rumbling noise. We have driven around the area and stopped the car to listen and can hear it in other places, so it isn't coming from inside our house. There are gas pipelines on both sides of this area, so we are wondering if it could be some sort of pump making the noise.
There is a similar "hum" from a section of the Connecticut River Fault next to the river in that state. It is caused by slow and nearly continuous "creep" along the geological faults on the sides of the Valley. I suspect the same applies to the Rio Grande valley as well.
I suggest asking the State of New Mexico Geologist.

I like this theory. At least it's something new. Historically, or pre-historically, there was a lot of tectonic activity around NM.
Truth11 - look at the extreme NW area of Washington state - it's a high earthquake risk. Interesting that the extreme SE tip of Missouri is a high earthquake risk, too. Kansas City looks relatively safe, though tornado risk more than makes up for that.
