These new mechanisms lead to burst of string production, leaving unique signatures in gravitational wave detectors. I will mainly discuss a phenomenon we call the "string bosenova", where gauged strings can form inside vector superradiance clouds around spinning black holes. I will also discuss briefly some new results where we discover periodic string formation in the simplest systems with a global U(1) symmetry in the early universe. This leads to periodic gravitational wave bursts, which could show up in the gravitational wave spectrum as a forest of peaks. If there is time, I will comment on how this affects dark photon and axion dark matter production, and possibly baryogenesis.
