Let me understand you correctly.

If we detect GW of a certain amplitude and between a certain range of frequencies [16Hz - 2,000Hz?], assuming the GW event
is perhaps a supernova less than 1000 light-years from Earth, that we should be able to HEAR these events with our ears without
any electronic aids?

Correct me if I painted an incorrect picture.

But if I'm correct, and if a GW event from perhaps a nearby supernova occurs, what will it sound like to our ears?
A drumbeat?
A tuba blow?
Or a trumpet blast?

It would be terrifying if it were the sound of a loud trumpet blast and you had no idea what had just occured.
