Could Gravity Wave detectors "hear" cosmic collisions ?

When large asteroids collide, wouldn't they emit (some) Gravity Wave radiation "ripples" through spacetime ? When large stars Supernova, wouldn't they also emit such "spacetime sound-waves" ?? Couldn't GW detectors be used, to "hear" the "crashings" of asteroids & comets, in the asteroid belt (say), or the "snap crackle pop" of distant SNs ?? In the cold darkness of space, a "good pair of ears" (GW detectors) could conceivably be beneficial.
