Abstract: The gravitational wave (GW) background produced at the cosmological chiral phase transition in a conformal extension of the standard model is studied. To obtain the bounce solution of coupled field equations we implement an iterative method. We find that the corresponding $O(3)$ symmetric Euclidean action $S_3$ divided by the temperature $T$ has a simple behavior near the critical temperature $T_C$: $S_3/Tpropto(1-T/T_C{)}^{-gamma}$, which is subsequently used to determine the transition's inverse duration $$ normalized to the Hubble parameter $H$. It turns out that $$, implying that the sound wave period $a{u}_{e}xtsw$ as an active GW source, too, can be much shorter than the Hubble time. We therefore compute $a{u}_{e}xtswH$ and use it as the reduction factor for the sound wave contribution. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for Deci-Hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) and Big Bang Observer (BBO) is evaluated, with the result: SNR${}^{e}xtDECIGOlesssim1.2$ and SNR${}^{e}xtBBOlesssim12.0$ for five years observation, from which we conclude that the GW signal predicted by the model in the optimistic case could be detected at BBO.
