A wonderful typical Mid-Summer soundscape of cicadas, and some katydids recorded on the edge of a small town in Illinois. Towards the end of the recording you will hear a very cool Doppler-effect as the truck passes from right to left.

Recorded about 8:00 at night with my Zoom H4-N recorder using it's internal microphones. I had the volume level set fairly high -- 80 -- so you will probably also hear the constant hum of the various central air conditioning units.
