The burrow acts as a resonator, amplifying the sound. Most male crickets make a loud chirping sound by stridulation (scraping two specially textured body parts together). The stridulatory organ is located on the tegmen, or fore wing, which is leathery in texture. A large vein runs along the centre of each tegmen, with comb-like serrations on ...
A few weeks ago I was looking for the sound of crickets, and was surprised to find no freely licensed cricket sounds on enwiki or on commons.

The tree cricket Oecanthus fultoni. Dolbear's law states the relationship between the air temperature and the rate at which crickets chirp. [1] [2] It was formulated by physicist Amos Dolbear and published in 1897 in an article called "The Cricket as a Thermometer". [3]
Oecanthus fultoni, also known as the snowy tree cricket, [1] or thermometer cricket, [1] is a species of tree cricket from North America. [2] It feeds on leaves but also damages fruit. The chirp of this species is often dubbed onto sound tracks of films and television shows to depict a quiet summer's night.
Thus, males can be identified through sound while females cannot. Diagram A shows the male cricket with its wings raised for the purpose of chirping. Diagram B shows the female cricket, identified via the long protruding ovipositor at the end of the abdomen. D and E show the female using the ovipositor to deposit the fertilized eggs into the ...
A cricket is a type of cockpit audio alert onboard commercial aircraft such as those of Airbus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Its sound is intentionally designed to be extremely difficult for pilots to ignore. The "chirp chirp" sound is named after the insect that it imitates.
The chirp (or trill) of a tree cricket is long and continuous and can sometimes be mistaken for the call of a cicada or certain species of frogs. While male tree crickets have the ability to call, females lack the ability. [5] This call is then received by other tree crickets in the area through a system called sender-receiver matching.
