Gravitational waves are produced when mass are accelerated, but their amplitude is generally very tiny. But when two compact objects rotate very close to each other (for example two neutron stars or two black holes) then we have very large masses and huge accelerations, the key ingredient for producing some big waves (at least close to the source).
