Nice work: This is an RLC circuit with resistance, inductance, and capacitance so you can model it fairly precisely if you measure or calculate the impedance and capacitance of the wires. You can use Wikipedia article for RLC_circuit. There is a “plot showing underdamped and overdamped response of series RLC circuit”. This is taught in high school differential equations, introductory physics, electrical engineering and many places. The inductance (Henries) and Capacitance (Farads) and resistance (Ohms) are nearly static properties. The specific shape of the impulse matters but you can use FFT methods to solve for any shape pulse. The “impulse response” of the circuit can be fairly stable but will depend on temperature, nearby objects, humidity. And you will see that it all has “noise” which can include power system variation in the field in your room, noise from nearby devices, sferics from lightning all over the earth, signals fro the Ionosphere. I trace the “noise” down to the gravitational level which is roughly down at nanovolts and picovolts. The best advice I can give is to treat every “noise” as a “signal” and try to model or measure its frequency and wavelength spectrum. The speed of gravity is identically the speed of electromagnetic waves with small corrections for the gravitational potential field, for the velocity and the positions of all masses. It is possible to measure the speed of gravity using gravimeter arrays, but a time of flight measurement is also possible if you identify and classify all the small “noises” so you know if the source is “gravitational” or “electromagnetic” or something else. Earth surface gravity has a spectrum mostly in infrared, UV, XUV and soft x-ray, but varies down to nanoHertz. At about 17:00 the electric field of electrons at any location drops off with distance, so it won’t spread all over evenly. It is short range. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation.
