I’m creating a dataset with simulated gravitational waves. The objective is to train different ML models with it. Is there a file containing plain detector noise (without signals or glitches) available anywhere?

@rbadan No. All real GW data contain glitches.

But, you can create simulated data without too much trouble. An example of how to do this is here:

Thank you for your answer!

I also found this, in case anyone is interested:

@rbadan did you find any other ways to download it directly from website?

Nope, at the end I used the git repo I posted in this same topic.
