Finally found something.

It's an arcticle comparing the GWB (Gravitational Wave Background) to the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) and is pretty cool in it's own right... and it says:
"...the GWB would be redshifted, like the CMB. But because of the GWB's earlier provenance, the reshifting would be even more dramatic: the energy (and frequency) of the waves would be downshifted by 24 orders of magnitude."

It's a pretty obscure reference, but for my money gravity is redshifted by expansion.
