Re: Wisconsin Chit-Chat & Daily Check-in...
Now this is loud! "How loud are cicadas? Some have been measured at 100 decibels at 20 yards away, which is loud enough to be heard over a lawnmower!"
Some kinds of cicadas have the weee-oh weee-oh weeee-oh weee-oh buzz, although I don't know if I've heard that one in Wis. Ours are more of the continuous long buzz rather than the weee-oh noise. Dave, you might know this sound down in Missouri. I think I heard that kind in KC when we were there. The sound was so loud that when we sat outside with several in the tree above. We had to talk so loud to hear each other.
Some cicadas are called Dog Day Cicadas because they are active in the dog days of summer.
