Clear Creek Metro Park
Rockbridge, Ohio
In late spring 2016, seventeen-year cicadas emerged in a section of the United States that includes eastern Ohio. The cicadas crawl out of the ground, shed their skins, and climb up into the trees. One cicada makes a loud and distinctive sound, but a whole group of them creates a dull roar.
This recording was made on the Cemetery Ridge trail at Clear Creek Metro Park in Rockbridge, Ohio. I was standing some distance from the cicada sounds, trying to capture the pervasive roar from a distance.
Sound recorded using the built-in mic on an iPhone 5.
