Not at all. Gravitational waves corresponding to highly nonlinear changes in the structure of spacetime (e.g. opening a connection from jumpspace) should be expected to be astronomically greater in magnitude than everything else. Waves associated with ordinary movement are ridiculously tiny. In ordinary circumstances, conservation of energy-momentum means that almost all of the field variations cancel, and the speeds and accelerations that can ordinarily occur make the rates of change of quadrupole moments microscopic. If the whole planet Jupiter started accelerating at 6 gees out of the solar system, LIGO probably wouldn't register a thing. In our reality, the only sources strong enough to create spacetime deformations comparable with a jump exit are merging black holes. They are also the source of the only gravitational waves we have detected so far, from a distance of more than a billion light years. They were associated with much larger scales of at least a few hundred kilometres, but that gives an idea of the energies that could be involved in changes of spacetime structure. If a 2 cm wormhole suddenly opened near Sirius, LIGO should be able to detect the pulse 9 years later. - Tim
