In the northeast of the US a type of cicada that only appears and makes a BIG noise every 17 years can be heard. I found an interesting environmental recording of the 17 year cicada recorded in Ohio. It has a interesting oscillation to it. I wonder if this is a recording artifact or what the cicada chorus actually sounds like….Perhaps you know? Drop a comment. I hope to hear a live version and make a recording soon.
The freesound website, where the sample exists, is really fascinating. I just discovered it the other day. Looks like I will be spending a lot of time exploring freesound…
