Recently it was claimed that the LIGO residual noise at the time of the GW150914 gravitational-wave detection event contains some unexplained correlated noise. At that the noise correlations are maximized at the same time-delay as the signal correlations in two LIGO detectors. We argue that the Schumann resonance transients excited by strong lightnings and Q-bursts in Africa will have just this time lag of about 7~ms. Therefore if the correlated noise related to the Schumann resonance transients is indeed present in the LIGO data, its “African part” will show just the proper time-delay and its coincidence with the gravitational-wave time delay is only a coincidence.
