Hearing the Cosmic Symphony

There's too much noise to hear a signal without help
Though the signal is in there, it will be buried
We can only test to see whether a signal is in the data or not
Have to test one-by-one, for all different signals with all kinds of different parameters
Give some idea of what a practical headache this is
Note that correlating between instruments can help
