Sometimes noise turns out to be signal (see developments leading to Cosmic Microwave Background [0]). At this stage in gravitational wave detection is it well founded to consider noise as noise instead of information we cannot yet understand?

Noise always has different sources, and when you eliminate noise you should always be conscious of the source. There should be a gravitational wave background analogous to the CMVB. Detecting it would be a sensation.
