The composition of dense matter in neutron star interiors remains uncertain, with the possible appearance of the non-strange resonances providing an important source of theoretical uncertainty. In this work, we investigate the gravitational wave signatures of hyperonic neutron stars containing baryons within a density-dependent relativistic mean-field framework based on the DDME2 parametrization. Within this framework, the baryons interact among themselves via mesons. For baryons, the interaction is uncertain to date. We investigate how variations of the scalar and vector meson couplings, subject to (x_{}-x_{}=0.2), modify the tidal properties and inspiral gravitational-wave signals. We find that the allowed variation in the coupling leads to substantial changes in the tidal properties of the neutron stars, which in turn leave distinct imprints on the gravitational-wave waveforms, particularly in their frequency evolution, accumulated phase, and strain amplitude. These waveform differences arise through changes in tidal deformability and are not unique signatures of resonances. Future gravitational-wave observations may therefore constrain the meson couplings within the adopted dense-matter framework, subject to degeneracies with alternative EOS models.
