Bring in Da Noise

I've always been impressed by the noise that one cicada can produce. This spring is looking to be a very loud year due to the unusual insect.

Periodical cicadas, a species of the grasshopper-like insects best known for the scratching, screeching "singing" of the males, will emerge this May, filling forests in more than a dozen states. Almost as abruptly as they arrive, they disappear underground for another 17 years.
