We set the first upper limit on the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background in the frequency range of 1–5 Hz using a torsion-bar antenna (TOBA). A TOBA is a GW detector designed for the detection of low frequency GWs on the ground, with two orthogonal test masses rotated by the incident GWs. We performed a 24-hour observation run using the TOBA and set upper limits, based on frequentist statistics and Bayesian statistics. The most stringent values are(frequentist) and(Bayesian) both at 2.58 Hz, whereis the Hubble constant in units ofandis the GW energy density per logarithmic frequency interval in units of the closure density.
