The majority of signals over the WY network that look like teleseisms on some webicorders (YMR especially) are not teleseisms at all and are not of long period frequency either. They sound totally weird (they are probably related to underground fluid/water movement of geysers, of which Yellowstone park is rich, but I don't know much about them) when converted into audio, but they're not (directly) of seismic nature.
Note that LP signals are also more commonly known as volcanic tremors (*), which mt. Redoubt (Alaska), before the start of its currently ongoing eruption, showed often.
When there will be volcanic tremors (LP earthquakes) under Yellowstone caldera you'll know, because most if not all seismic stations around the park will record them.
(*) To tell the truth, there is a difference, though for most people it's not very significant as they can look very similar: LP signals are short and discrete events of regular apperance and low frequency (1-5 Hz); volcanic tremors are signals of the same character that are more prolonged in time and may be smooth and uniform (harmonic tremors) or also slowly pulsate irregularly (spasmodic tremor). Redoubt has had both LPs and volcanic tremors in early 2009.

*Sheepish* I had not considered that the water/steam etc would show up that much. If you have some of those odd samples up someplace I'd be happy to give them a listen, ditto for the Long Period Signals. Also did you happen to take a stab at making a sample for the Hydrothermal Explosion (before during after)?

This is a sample at 80x speed of RSO seismic station from Redoubt volcano, Alaska, during January 27 2009, that's medium intensity volcanic tremor (the low frequency background hum you hear at the beginning) + LP event (low frequency high intensity constant sound) with ongoing debris flow (the "swooosh" noise you can hear at times during the LP event):
Volcanic event from Redoubt, WAV file
This is a sample of "water noises" from today at YMR, Yellowstone, 80x speed:
Unknown noises from YMR
[Pretty odd indeed ]
EDIT: I forgot to add that seismic signals that occur mostly during working hours are probably of human nature (cars, etc). This seems to be the case of YMR seismic station (try checking out past days).
