We investigate features of Gravitational Waves (GWs) induced by primordial density fluctuations with a large amplitude peak associated with formation of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs). It is shown that the spectrum of induced GW is insensitive to the width of the peak in wavenumber space provided it is below a certain value, but the amplitude of the spectrum reduces at the peak frequency and decreases faster at low frequencies for a larger width. A correspondence between the GW amplitude and PBH abundance is also investigated incorporating the peak width. We find that PBHs with masses 10^{20-26}g can be probed by space-based laser interferometers and atomic interferometers irrespective of whether the peak width is small or not. Further we obtain constraints on the abundance of the supermassive PBHs by comparing a low frequency tail of the GW spectrum with CMB observations.
