Broken Rock Falls, Hocking Hills
Logan, 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 at Broken Rock Falls near Old Man's Cave in Hocking Hills State Park. The recording was made too far away to pick up any individuals, but you can see the waveform of the chorus as it ebbs and flows.
Sound recorded using the built-in mic on an iPhone 5.
