inconsequential for the most part, gravity doesn't interact directly with matter (which I understand, might be still quite counterintuitive to many).
I do wonder though if it would be possible for the "ripple" to deorbit us (or any other body).
The wave moves your entire body, and the ground, all at the same time. You would not notice anything because it all moves together.
OK, not at exactly the same time - but you need specialized equipment to detect it, AKA the machines in the article. A person would not notice even a strong wave.
