No, they come in a wide range of frequencies/wavelengths depending on the systems under study. LIGO is sensitive to a higher frequency/shorter wavelength range. LIGO can't access Nanograv's regime due to limitations on reducing environmental noise.

> The team found key evidence for quadrupole correlation signatures compatible with the prediction of nanohertz gravitational waves at a 4.6-sigma statistical confidence level (with a false alarm probability of two in a million).
Figure 3.2E7 seconds/year so this translates to ~32 years/cycle
99.379-99.9767% confidence, not bad.
Another source described the ordinary gravitational waves as "deafening", so the rogue gravitational waves should be even louder.
