We present a complete classification of gravitational waves according to their frequencies together with an introductory account of the corresponding sources and methods of detection. The complete frequency classification is (i) Ultra high frequency band (above 1 THz); (ii) Very high frequency band (100 kHz – 1 THz); (iii) High frequency band (10 Hz – 100 kHz); (iv) Middle frequency band ( 0.1 Hz – 10 Hz); (v) Low frequency band (100 nHz – 0.1 Hz); (vi) Very low frequency band (300 pHz – 100 nHz); (vii) Ultra low frequency band (10 fHz – 300 pHz); (viii) Hubble (extremely low) frequency band (1 aHz – 10 fHz); (ix) Infra-Hubble frequency band (below 1 aHz).
