contents Black hole solutions in the braneworld scenario are predicted to possess a tidal charge parameter, leaving imprints in the quasinormal spectrum. We conduct an extensive computation of such spectrum, and use it to construct a waveform model for the ringdown relaxation regime of binary black hole mergers observed by LIGO and Virgo. Applying a Bayesian time-domain analysis formalism, we analyse a selected dataset from the GWTC-3 LIGO-Virgo-Kagra catalog of binary coalescences, bounding the value of the tidal charge. With our analysis we obtain the first robust constraints on such charges, highlighting the importance of accounting for the previously ignored correlations with the other black hole intrinsic parameters.
