The Sound of Cicadas -- Amazing Noise of Dense Cicadas

[halowaffles]

That's gotta to be crazy in person. I hate it when even one of these fuckers is making noise.

[LOVEIsDasani]

It's amazing these small bugs can make such a racket. But I like listening to them because it just says summer. I <3 summer. :)

[GoldDragonJewelry]

I love cicadas :D they are so cute

[EpicCodKnives]

POOP IN THE BUTT

[tall32guy]

Why do they do that? Are they trying to get someone to mate with, or what? LOL

[naruhinafan274]

Turning the volume all the way up on both Youtube and on your pc doesn't even BEGIN to show how loud these fuckers are in person.

[coulibistrie]

@naruhinafan274 at least there once a 13/17 year thing

[Evergr3entree]

Fucking disgusting (the sound). Chicago in the summer is a cicada pit hole...

[nickthestick26]

@Evergr3entree Ummm.... once every 17 years that is....

[zooatlanta404]

I can make a hot dance routine to these sons if bitches!!

[trafotevoli]

So these are the fuckers responsible for my Tinnitus.

[1triplej2]

cicada used bug buzz

[araeLSnoble7]

We had to look at a cicada at school today...THEYRE BIG!! O_O

[sakuramankai94]

i liked the part where the cidacas were making noice.

[xiahnsaya1004]

i need a copy of this cicada song in my ipod

[Kuploosh]

Wow that sound is so relaxing... love it!

[WWF4200]

meh cicadas are ok. but you'd learn to dislike them too if one was stuck in your wall and just wont shut the fuck up .... lol

[PenelopeMommy]

that sound is creepy as fuck.

[zevex747]

these creep me out after watching the anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Foreboding.

[SmogHouseTradingCo]

I left my balcony door open and now I have many cicadas in my house. It's a lot of fun...............

[ilovebrent01]

@SmogHouseTradingCo My cats bring these damn things through the dog door ALL freakin summer long! They are extremely UGLY and those bastards make the most ANNOYING ass sound outside.. I wish they would just piss off already! BLEH!

[MzSpittlez]

finally found what the fck just woke me up from my d*mn nap..fckin bug

[haveNOdreams]

to me nothing sounds better than a cicada

[ilovetogofast88]

Holy shit, it's a full blown Cicada orgy!

[bboy1022]

I enjoy these things ... when I went to college in the city you rarely heard these when I came home they reminded me of my childhood on summer evenings

[ProgrammedToRust]

Am I the only one that likes em? I think its peaceful to hear these guys, its very nostalgic to me. I use to hear them all the time as a kid.

[serpentisma]

@ProgrammedToRust i'm in the same boat. i hear them all the time around my house during summer. they only get this size in population every 13 or 17 years, but between that time you have the stragglers come out and they keep the buzz going all summer long.  it's relaxing. makes me want to take a nap in a hammock. of course, then my neighbor yells at me to "get the hell out of my hammock," and "stay in your own damn back yard." apparently his childhood wasn't as nostalgic as mine....

[frobrofityfoe]

these little shits are so fucking annoying

[612murderapolis]

if this was going on out my house at 2am, i'd get up go to the basement make a homemade famethrower and kill the lil shitake mushrooms

[SmallvilleFann1983]

These things are fucking annoying as hell. I have some outside behind my house in the woods and they do it for like 14 hours straight and they dont stop until like 9 pm. I didn't hear them until a few weeks ago when in the hell are they going to go away? I CANT STAND IT ANY MORE!

[Rsplayer235]

You guys are just strange. I hear these shits everytime at like 2-4am and they don't stop until the fucking morning. Its complete madness i can't take my mind off them and they just keep up and night. Its so annoying god.

[612murderapolis]

@Rsplayer235 hahahaha lol where u live bro??

[Rsplayer235]

@612murderapolis Toronto, I don't even know if this is whats making the sound. They always start at 12 in the Morning. Its annoying as fuck. It drives me insane lol.

[612murderapolis]

@Rsplayer235 lmao i been there, ill be there tomr with the famethrower to get rid of the pest for yeah lol

[mkapageridis]

I'm living this nightmare now! they don't shut up and so many of them they fly right into you and some spray/pee on you - disgusting - wish I had my dog - she'd be having a field day with them and at least some would've stayed away! expecting them to be gone by end of month!

[NinjaKitty667]

Fuckin hate those,i shot one with a bb gun once cause it was soo annoying :3

[Cossetteliar3876]

This sound is so relaxing, I want to listen to them for as long as I could.

[kchano]

My childhood summer sound. :)

[17thknight]

This shit would drive me to madness.

[aiG0oChamNa]

ew that's fcking disgusting 

[lifestandstillhere]

I violently dislike these disgusting critters. Phobia!

[thehypnoguy]

They are not white noise. Live through that for 3 months non-stop and then come back and comment. It is the most annoying thing you could ever experience. And they don't rest.

[Nostromo951]

they were watching the NBA All-Star match :D

[quesondriac]

Like wow! It is the ultimate white noise! CICADAS ROCK!

[nickthestick26]

Brood XIX has finished its emergence here in Arkansas. I miss them already. :(

[schuringer]

Two years ago I went for a holiday by car with friends to Croatia. We planned to stay there for two weeks but after a week I couldn't hear this terrible sound any longer and I tuck the first plane home by myself back to Holland!

[TehSorso]

Thank GOD there are no cicadas in Romania!

[r4v3nwing]

@TehSorso Actually... look for Cicada orni and Tibicina haematodes on Google Romania (since I can't paste links here) ;)

[TehSorso]

@r4v3nwing There may be cicadas in Romania... but are they are not in the cities, at least none that i know of, and neither in rural areas. Maybe only in the forests or something.

[Walkmethrough142]

lol, reminds me of a football match

[Angelagilbert1954]

I remember the cicadas also called locust from my childhood in Ohio.They maybe noisy but we always liked the sound.I think you did a great job recording this.Some people can't even hold a camera that steady while recording.I hope your having a great weekend...

[jcudal32]

God I would run liek a bitch if I didnt know these were bugs. Id be imagining a demon following me when its summer or something.

[Endymion766]

i grew up in Mississippi and we had cicadas like this except I don't recognize the lower pitched chirping. That must be from a species that only emerges further north.

[PapSett]

I'm from southern Indiana and that is the sound of my childhood. :-)

[MisterGr1n]

Murfressboro is Infested with these right now.. making hell of a noise.. I hear it through my headphones and from outside..

[formicadreams]

When I read the title, I thought it said "Denise Cicadas" which made me think there were various types and this particular one was called Denise -- and for just a short moment, it was nice thinking we lived in a world where insects were named "Denise."

[megs2401]

This is the most annoying sound. What is so impressive is that it is so loud! These things are relentless in their love-making call.

[theatomicpunkkk]

@Christianite554 How ironic, I'm 44 and I've lived in Murfreesboro my whole life as well.

[Christianite554]

I had this on it's own tab while I went to other websites. This is music to my ears.

[ALEXIAquestiona]

never again!

[Busterseyes]

I love these bugs and the sound is amazing. Don't care for hawks though...sorry.

[savvysaint30]

the only people who like the sound of these freaking things are people who work inside they are SOO freaking annoying and mean!!!!

[theatomicpunkkk]

I live in middle Tennessee, and these things are driving me freakin crazy!!

[atlboy837]

@theatomicpunkkk Lol me too i have none... yet!

[Christianite554]

@theatomicpunkkk I you just moved here in Tennessee, which I've lived in Murfreesboro my whole life, you have to get used to this. I personally love it. :)

[wollclark]

They're annoying, I can't wait until they're gone.

[silvereight]

We enjoy the Cicada's when they start their concert in the evenings. For some strange reason, I find them a good source for making it easy to fall asleep. My dad once recorded 60 min. of them on a tape recorder for the sole purpose of having a sleep aid. It can get overwhelming when they get into fully synchronized rhythm.

[CollinG28]

They are in my area right now.

[metalsonic71]

god damnit i hate that sound...at least its like listening to a creeper but damnit i can't think with that hissing...also touching one should make you gay cause there grosser then 'cock'roaches

and there worse then the lotus.

ps:it makes my ears ring giving me a seizure but since i never fucking can get one like a normal fucker should be then it makes me fucking crazy.

(im going to kill those fuckers who touch them and fuck them till there ass explodes then shove those things up there dead ass!)

[SammiSaibot]

@metalsonic71

Someone's got issues...

[metalsonic71]

@SammiSaibot someone's got no fucking ass.

[SammiSaibot]

@metalsonic71

...Interesting. I suggest that maybe you should see a psychiatrist about your anger issues. Just a thought. But I'm done with this seeing as how I doubt you'll come back with anything intelligible, much like your last response which made absolutely no sense. So, good day sir.

[metalsonic71]

@SammiSaibot im gonna rape your GF..so good day to you sir HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

ps:i'll shove a cicada up your ass.

[SammiSaibot]

@metalsonic71

Wow, you're such an internet tough guy! I'm so scared! I'm just gonna let you talk like a bad ass and feel good about yourself, if that's what it takes. Cause I'm still gonna be happy with my life and absolutely unaffected by you, some complete fucktard on the internet who has less intelligence than an insect. Not to mention your horrendous grammar, I'm just saying. So fuck you, and may you have a swell day.

P.S. Insults and threats don't work over the internet, apologies.

[BoundingVincent]

@SammiSaibot thank you for getting rid of that douche troll.

i <3 cicadas there so cute. :3

[SammiSaibot]

@BoundingVincent

Haha No worries, it was my pleasure, thank you for that actually :) I do too! I have a place at the the lake and you can hear 'em perfect and you can see them everywhere up there. I think that they're intriguing and beautiful creatures and I love their sound, it's soothing to me :P

[htate51]

I was in my house on friday and i was able to hear them outside

[xmxzooyorkxmx]

thats going on at my house now

[barbiefromneptune]

My ears are ringing. That was awful. I'm so glad there arent any here!

[PaulaZF]

It's helpful in relieving my tinnitus.

[cavanmans]

I love the musical sounds they produce,I could listen to them forever.

[prettyladyface]

Well they're in Twiggs County Georgia! I hate that sound!

[ZeroOfBells]

No cicadas here, fuck america.

[SphynkTorr]

@ZeroOfBells??? You mean Zero of BALLS!!!

[ZeroOfBells]

@SphynkTorr why

what could possibly make you say that

[leevi1234]

Horrible Alien sound...Would ruin my summer.

[evilwatches]

It's almost like a white noise effect, very soothing I think.

[nickthestick26]

Great capture of both M. cassini and M. septendecim in chorus. You have the best such video on Youtube right now. I will be making a video of Brood XIX next month (May, 2011) here in north Arkansas. I hope to capture this on film, along with the actual synchronized "dance" of the cassini species. Very good capture of Brood XIII. :)

[mattandsarahaschan]

I like the sound of cicadas at the begining of summer cuz it means that a long winter if finally over, but they get old really fast!!!

[peerless77]

Cicadas are very dangerous killers. Swarms of them will crawl into your mouth and throat and suffocate you in your sleep. 23 people died last summer here.

[Silvergordikuki]

@peerless77 First I was just annoyed by the sound, but now I'm just creeped out.

[TARHEELS4244]

@peerless77 I call bullshit.

[lilmikey1969]

they used to annoy me but now that there not there oh god do i miss them

[sirnicholson]

its great !!!i cant hear the tinnitis in my head when i watch this!!!!

[kellyandkaylen]

i hear those in summer they are annoying

[choirfreak26]

Oh god, that sound...never will I forget that sound.

[danielllaha]

How is there a single dislike? What, are the cicadas not performing up to par? people on here are fucking stupid

[alexthepirate]

@danielllaha people disliked it because cicadas are fucking gross

[zhagzi]

@alexthepirate YOU'RE gross..

[SilverGunZoO]

@alexthepirate I love cicadas, I thumbed up ^^

[PooPoo2U]

@alexthepirate: I disliked it because cicadas are fucking anoying.

[Smashbrosmaestro]

@alexthepirate You are a thoughtless fool. Keep your condescending comments to yourself.

[SammiSaibot]

@danielllaha

Truer words have never been spoken.

[wedwooster1]

@danielllaha Maybe they don't like the sound.

[danielllaha]

@wedwooster1 O that must be why the looked it up

[wedwooster1]

@danielllaha Maybe they heard about them somewhere, looked it up on youtube and in doing so realised they don't like the sound.

people on here R fooking stoopid HURR

[nickthestick26]

@danielllaha Only subpar performance I hear in this video is that the cassini are not in sync with each other. When they really get it together in the afternoon, their sound pulses back and forth, almost like waves, as the cicadas synchronize their calling phrase together. They don't have it in this video.

[BrightestBlackSheep]

@danielllaha I just googled "insect clicking chirp" and eventually found out that its a cicada that sits in a tree outside my living room windows and makes that horrible noise all damn day. THUMBS DOWN.

[ilovetogofast88]

Symphony hall of the forest



[Andrewterrorist]

AND I THOUGHT CRICKTES WERE LOUD!!!

[GeassAlchemist]

i don't know why but for me, this is ears sex

[TunaAaron]

I think the song of the cicada is beautiful. It reminds me of my childhood. Look up the song Barefoot Pilgrims by Balmorhea and begin listening at 3:30. It's just fantastic!

[Nagneto]

Ah shit that's irritating.

[nicobike]

makes me think when I'm high

[TheGodTier]

@TVlolz Because this is real life, not some faggy shit anime.

[TVlolz]

@TheGodTier nobody's picking a fight with you, so don't sound like you got something up your ass

[TheGodTier]

@TVlolz Asspained weeaboo faggot

[TVlolz]

@TheGodTier don't start flame wars man, that ain't cool

[TheGodTier]

@TVlolz Right because opinions are flame wars, moron. I sure love seeing SUGOI KUWAII UGUU everywhere.

[TVlolz]

@TheGodTier no, i didn't say that, and i didn't say any of those either, i don't know what the hell you're so fucking pissed about anyway

[TheGodTier]

@TVlolz I don't get how you faggots relate everything to crappy anime.

[TVlolz]

@TheGodTier not everything, there were cicadas in this video, there were (a lot) of cicadas in some anime, i guess that's it...kinda dumb i guess, but yeah...

[DjHardaFasta]

@TheGodTier hahaha! agreed

[Teremei]

@TheGodTier Straight people don't watch anime? I've love to live in your little mind fucked brainwashed right wing world where everything YOU don't agree to is liberal, big government, or faggy.

[codeythesilent]

@TheGodTier

Go fuck yourself, you bitch. Maybe you could use a little multicultural anime to rape you in the fucking ear.

[craz5]

every summer in chicago got damn noise

[nicholasb12]

This is all i can hear on summer nights..

[MrMarks4]

i like this sound.... makes me realise nature is amazing........

[ginty019]

one time a cicada flew into my friends room and he killed it... it screamed for it's life as if it were human, it was horrifying

[Aloves0strong]

@ginty019 rotflmfaoooooooooooo

[mermaidamp]

It sounds like breathing underwater and/or shaving cream.

[kjb86]

Sounds like the jungles of Vietnam

[jbridges10]

These things really really drive me crazy. Where I live they never seem to shut up.

[IwontConform]

I could actually go to sleep to this sound.Its not annoying to me at all.Ah,the joy of nature.

[yellowgroove]

i have a close up of a cicada, not sure what type though.

[MishuTaste]

I used to live in New Joisey. These critters were really noisy!

[kimy013]

Uhhgfvhsid i hate this noise. it scares me. haha im a strange person.

[bensands1234]

this makes me miss Kanma Japan...... going back for good. see you soon Japan.

[imon2u]

i hear this during the summer in michigan. although nowhere near as loud, or chirpy. just the scratchy noise....

ash moths?

[vdanker]

I remember cicadas in Japan. They even used them in a Coke commercial. The noise was deafening, but beautiful.

[Crashmagproductions1]

It sounds like someone is dragging the backend of their truck

[14kuid]

fuck you

[Pooky1991]

I was just watching animal planet most extreme noice makers and these were #3 I think. It made me thin of higurashi no naku koro ni too whis is creepy. I remeber when I was little I thoughy the noice was so type of Grasshopper.

[PacLatino44]

i like this sound because it reminds me at being at the park in the summer

[akinneetwin]

@14kuid Your an idiot

[texgal905]

i looove this sound:) reminds me of home...

[Loveyourdisk]

poor sound quality...the bad microphone does distort too much...thats even not that what you would hear with your own ears...it would blast them off!

[NeonToeNails]

Love this sound!! Makes me think of summer!!!

[crucialconflict02]

absolutely.

[djinstructor]

@NeonToeNails Love this sound!! Makes me think that the climate here in Britain is crap because we don't here them!

[gtlaw]

OMG guys, i have never heard this sound, cause they are hardly in my area, however i heard this huge buzzing noise outside o na tree, i was like WTF, it was freggen loud like ear killing loud, especially right unde rit, only at the end i realised it was a cicada cause it scared the crap out of me when it started flying off, big ugly things they are too, like a giant moth on steroids

[Rx7even]

@gtlaw lol..giant moth on steroids

[jezuz12345]

Oh I absolutely HATE that noise, it is like that every summer where I live, even if I baricade myself to the basement I still get this noise!!! Drives me crazy + I can't record music in the summer because of them. And when I'm driving a bike they always fly when I pass and come crass on me, they mast be attracted by fast moving things.

I absolutely despise them! X-P

[sophiesepe]

miss miss miss this

[Quadraxis]

kind of makes ya think about summer at the country. I remember those trips me and my folks took to Denmark, to a place called Øster Hurup. Really nice place. I used to let my window stay open so i could hear them in the morning. I just love waking up to that sound

[poordetroit]

Cicadas life Iowa too

[Evecineasta]

amazing

it reminds me my childhood

on summer =]

[Joe402]

anime

[PrinceYumi]

i miss this sound

[MelancholySkies]

I think the sound of Cicadas is so beautiful, my friend thinks their song is like "ear rape" XD And I think it's kinda sad how many people are bringing up higurashi lol, haventcha heard a cicada anywehere else before? :P Although I do love that anime. ^^

[MelancholySkies]

Are you stupid? I said it was sad how many people WERE bringing it up, look at the other comments before calling me a faggot, faggot.

[lovelierlex]

omg I was just going to say something about higurashi!!!!

lol

[LilliputSight]

The Cicadas are out now here in TN, they're so relaxing.

[thehunterx1973]

Cicada comes every summer here in Vegas I use to catch them when I was young

[camivette]

in texas where i grew up, we had cicadas every summer, a constant cycle

[Domppa95]

Yeah just like in Higurashi no naku koro ni.

Where i live there is no cicadas, ut grasshopper theres more than i can believe. They as loud voice.

[chad5161]

[wolfboy1197]
