There is nothing to see here. This recording represent the interaction between nature natural night sounds and city noise pollution. At the end of this recording a big truck came and made U-turn creating a disturbing noise to the crickets. They all stopped then started again after the truck left. Just close you eyes and listen for ten minutes. Very relaxing.

  • this is scary not relaxing lol

  • I least I know how to scare you now.

  • like it. I'm going to use for my flash show if thats ok. I'll give you credit.

  • No problem. Thanks.

  • Actually its frogs. The species is called Spring Peepers. They are not very big but there are so many of them. No crickets can make such a loud noise and crickets do more sing in summer when its hot. Spring peepers do sing in spring also :D

  • Thanks for correcting us.

  • I just had a weird thought; peepers would be absolutely terrifying to hear if you had never heard them before.

  • staten island? I didnt know spring peepers lived there! awesome! I used to find garter snakes, redback salamanders, bullfrogs, painted turtles, chorus frogs, italian wall lizards, watersnakes, etc on staten island. in great kills. also in the greenbelt. may I ask what other frog species live on SI?

  • this makes me sleepy.

  • You know it's finally spring when you hear these guys.  It's truly a welcomed sound especially after a long cold winter

  • Spring peepers are wonderful. They can throw their voices, too, so that predators can't find them.
