contents It was proposed that acoustic perturbations generated by the QCD phase transition could create an inverse turbulent cascade \cite{Kalaydzhyan:2014wca}. An assumption was that propagation toward smaller momenta could reach the wavelength of a few km, the Universe's size at the time. Such acoustic waves were proposed to be the source of gravity waves. The kilometer wavelength corresponds to year-long gravity wave today, which were recently discovered using pulsar correlations. This paper argues further that an acoustic turbulence must be an ensemble of shocks. This brings two consequences: First, shocks generate gravity waves much more efficiently than sound waves due to the intermittency of matter distribution. We reconsider gravity wave radiation, using universal emission theory for soft radiation, and argue that soft-momenta plateau should reach wavelengths of the order of shock mean free paths. Second, collisions of shock waves create local density excess, which may create primordial black holes. A good tool to settle this issue can be an evaluation of the {\em trapped surfaces} like it was done in studies of heavy ion collisions using AdS/CFT correspondence
