The earth is so big, and as I understand, constantly moving and roiling away inside – why isn’t there a constant low level rumble?

[The Kola Superdeep Borehole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole) is the deepest hole on Earth at 12,262m deep. Still no magma. The crust is very thick relative to a human. It’s very thin relative to the Earth as a whole.
