Has this been discussed already?
Just saw a more recent video by Krauss on how LIGO works.

After upgrading it's detection limits to 1/1000 the width of a proton, it can detect waves from a lot which is going on around it. In addition to black holes colliding, it's laser beams can pick up the distortions from a truck rolling 50 miles away, and of course there's also the distortion of Moon gravitation waves. The Moon gravitational behavior is predictable, therefore it should be easy to sort out from what the LIGO team is attempting to observe, but what of all the background noise that's coming in from every direction on Earth? You probably know me (even if you don't like me) that I wouldn't be saying nay, but I'd love to know how when I talk about it. Are they already able to apply Doppler to this emerging technology?

Mr. Hanky loves you!
