Note that Signal's architecture makes this difficult. You can observe metadata going to the Signal server and going from either the Signal server or from Google's blobs-to-apps service. Assuming that my phone uses the Google service (it can also use websockets directly from Signal), then you can see thee things:
1. You can see that my wife sends someone a message via Signal.
2. You can see a stream of data from Signal to Google.
3. You can see that an app on my phone receives a small amount of data from Google.
You can still pick out something, but the architecture tilts the statistics and widens the error bars on your results.
