Apart from some tidal forces we probably wouldn't feel a thing but rather just continue following the free falling trajectory.
Gravitational waves are also different from changes to the amount of gravitational force. This can be seen from the fact that gravitational waves affect the distances between objects, whereas the sun which exerts far more gravitational force has no measurable effect (at least, to my knowledge rotating objects don't change length noticeably).
