We would like to thank Wei and Shen (2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GL102596) (W23) for their comments on our recent article on GRL. In their comments, Wei and Shen argued that tremor signal on the right side of the cross‐correlation function (CCF) of PAUD‐STCD is from Kilauea crater, and they suggested that the observed time‐delay after eruption might be attributed to the noise source change and other factors. After checking the data and the code carefully, we recognize that signal on the right side of CCF of PAUD‐STCD may be due to seismicity from the Kilauea crater. However, we demonstrate here that it does not affect our conclusions. Plain Language Summary Wei and Shen (2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GL102596) question that our velocity change measurement might be affected the volcanic tremor source change. By processing more data, we found that our results are stable.
