Abstract

There is real interest in gravitational wave detector site noise right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the
most value. We pull together the current evidence for gravitational wave detector site noise, covering the methodological,
practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and reviewers
are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific pursuit looks better supported by the evidence gathered
here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
