The gravitational wave radiation emitted by all, resolved and unresolved, astrophysical sources in the observable universe generates a stochastic background. This background has a directional dependence inherited from the inhomogeneities of the matter distribution. This article proposes a new and independent derivation of the angular dependence of its energy density by focusing on the total gravitational wave signal produced by an ensemble of incoherent sources. This approach clarifies the origin of the angular correlation and the relation between the gravitational wave signal that can be measured by interferometers and the energy density of the stochastic background.
