Afternoon Cicada Song

Here in Chicago, "Brood XIII", a 17-year cycle cicada, is out in full force this early summer. This brief video is more of an audio observation; the din of cicadas in full voice is louder than a passing jet.

I like this sound because I'm an audiophile but I heard that people with tinnitus hate it!

I'm amazed at the variation in their songs... just 3 hours away near Detroit, the cicadas sound completely different.

The sound of cicadas takes me back to summer vacation as a child. To this day I love to hear them on a summer evening.
