About this sound

“Locusts once Destroyed Mankind”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in May 2024

A whole swarm of cicadas buzzing for about 23 seconds. It's bright and hissy, and the chorus swells up and drops back in waves without ever stopping. Pretty loud and up close. Sounds like a hot summer afternoon in the trees.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.2 s of quiet before the sound starts. Trim that off if it has to land right on a cut, a hit or a button press.
