Perhaps the LISA detector will be sensitive enough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Interferometer_Space_Ant...


OP said "a few". The paper says LIGO et al. are sensitive up to an order of 3 or 4; planned interferometers are targeted at lower ranges. The needed device needs to be sensitive to modes of at least order 12---but preferably order 21 & higher (to cover all theories). So, realistically, they're about 18 orders of magnitude off. Conservatively.
