Low frequency strain noise comparison between H1 and L1

With improvements in the past couple of months in the low frequency noise on both interferometers, and both now capable of achieving 160+ Mpc BNS range, I wanted to make a current comparison of the low frequency noise between H1 and L1 -- see the attached plot. For each interferometer, I selected a recent time where its BNS range was at/near its maximum, which is between 160-165 Mpc. The strain noise levels are nearly identical above 45 Hz. Below that, L1 has lower noise, by factors of 2-3 in the 10-30 Hz band.
