  Assuming the observed pulsar velocities to originate during asymmetric
collapse of stellar cores, we compute the amplitude of gravitational waves
emitted during type II and Ib supernova explosions and their detection rate
from within a distance of 30 Mpc. At the rms-level of advanced laser
interferometers h ~ 1.0e-22 at frequencies 300-1000 Hz the expected rate is
about 1 per year.
