Comment on How would a passing gravitational wave look or feel? (2017)

So (in theory) you could hear the chirp of merging black holes, if they were close enough.

In fact, everyone on the planet would hear the same chirp. Someone should comb the historical records (or even, mythologies) for a birdless chirp heard by many people.

I don't think life on earth would survive aftermath if such chirp was close enough to be heard.
