We appreciate the discussion by Nakamura (2023). The issues raised in the discussion are about the wave types in microtremors and earthquakes and references thereto. These issues are somewhat tangential to the point of the study described in our article (Wang et al., 2023). We sought to address a series of practical issues that affect the ability of engineers to use horizontal‐to‐vertical spectral ratios (HVSRs) for site response modeling, including objective identification of peaks in HVSR and differences in HVSR attributes as measured using different wave types (earthquakes and microtremors) and different sensor types (accelerometers and...
