So would you hear it as a 100 Hz tone? Feel it as a vibration in your bones? (Again, assuming an amplitude somewhere between perceptible and lethal, and assuming you're protected from other almost certainly lethal forms of radiation at that distance)

It seems the wave is quickly dampened so I think if it would be strong enough (if you were near the source for instance) to have any impact on your body you would receive the tearing forces on your organs almost instantaneously and be damaged before you could even notice anything. Edit: A sibling comment has a physics exchange link to a proper answer

It's the same frequency that we hear when we turn the LIGO gravitational wave into a sound wave (frequency wouldn't change with distance, right?), so presumably maybe it would sound just like that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyDcTbR-kEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyDcTbR-kEA If you turn it up real loud and press your hand against your speaker maybe it would be some idea of what it would feel like.
