understanding its physical origin. Assuming the signal is a cosmological gravitational-wave
background produced by overly large primordial curvature perturbations, we investigate the
sound speed resonance effect with an oscillatory behavior using the combined PTA data
from NANOGrav 15-yr data set, PPTA DR3, and EPTA DR2. We find that the stochastic
signal can be explained by the induced gravitational waves sourced by the sound speed …
