We made simultaneous high resolution observations of the solar granular field and the Sun‘s seismic events. We find that these events occur in the dark intergranular lanes. The events are preceded by the darkening of an already dark lane. On the leading edge of each event, there is a second more abrupt and precipitous darkening lasting a minute or two.
