In this paper we derive relations between the cross-correlation of ambient noises recorded at two different points and the Green's function of the elastic waves in a medium with viscous damping. The Green's function allows to estimate physical parameters such as speeds or distances. Furthermore, this work is extended by introducing the Green's correlation function proposed by J-L. Lacoume in [Lacoume07]. Some recent works proved the possible reconstruction of the Green's function for scalar waves from the cross-correlation function of ambient noise. In this work, we consider vector waves propagating in a three dimensional solid medium. Two approaches are developed. Firstly, we extend theoretical derivations proposed by Y. Colin de Verdi`ere in [ColinDeVerdiere09], relating cross-correlation of scalar waves to 1D Green's function using linear operator theory. The second approach recasts the three dimensional problem in the framework of Fourier theory. This allows to improve physical understanding of the underlying physical processes as outlined in [Lacoume07].
