Current and future Gravitational Wave (GW) observatories target the nHz to kHz frequency range. However, phenomena both within and beyond the Standard Model can give rise to GW signals above kHz. We will briefly discuss what these signals could be, before focusing on promising techniques to search for high-frequency GWs using resonant electromagnetic cavities. The technologies that have been developed to search for axion dark matter are directly transferrable to a search for GWs. Concurrent GW/axion searches are an exciting possibility.
