We explore potential quantum gravity signatures by studying periodic orbits and their GW emissions around a novel regular black hole (BH) featuring a Minkowski core. Using a rational number q, periodic orbits are classified, revealing that the deviation parameter α0 reshapes the bound-orbit region while preserving characteristic ``zoom-whirl" structures. Numerical kludge waveforms reveal detectable phase shifts and amplitude modulations induced by quantum gravity effects with radiation reaction breaking orbital periodicity. Faithfulness analysis demonstrates that larger α0 and q enhance distinguishability from the Schwarzschild case, and a comparison with Hayward and quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder BHs shows their similar large-scale behaviors yield macroscopically indistinguishable orbits and waveforms.
