Popis: In this work, numerical simulations were used to investigate the gravitational stochastic background produced by coalescences occurring up to $z \sim 5$ of double neutron star systems. The cosmic coalescence rate was derived from Monte Carlo methods using the probability distributions for forming a massive binary and to occur a coalescence in a given redshift. A truly continuous background is produced by events located only beyond the critical redshift $z_* = 0.23$. Events occurring in the redshift interval $0.027
