i live almost in downtown charlotte & i still hear this every night from april til sept

This made me feel so much better I feel the same 🥺🥺

Reminds me of camping at night, the best white noise sounds possible

Get out of the cities. One supply chain crash, and you all become the first victims of that fallout. See what just happened in NYC's Union Square last week? Yeah, and all that was over a gaming console.

You are not alone. I grew up in the mountains in a very rural town, job moved me to the suburban outskirts of Charlotte, NC and I hate it , because like you I miss the peacefulness of having these sounds to be surrounded by without traffic noise, etc. I also miss the jet black skies and seeing all the stars.

R ree draw free

I fall asleep to this pretty much every night lol 😂

Go to sleep!!! Lol

+ crackling camp fire

Yes sirrr. Pensacola here.

Hey alabama! I’m in central Alabama and it’s the same here too, I use to think it was creepy out at night, like a snake was gonna come up and bite me but now I just love it and if I could camp outside every night I would. Just can’t sleep in total silence.

wyoming is really brown and windy.

Beautiful scenery though. Lots of wildlife, good people and space.@@axhed

1000% the humid warmth on a late night walk, nothing beats it.

That is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!

I’m 20 and also autistic and this helps me go to sleep as well!

Hi also autistic and enjoy this a lot

Playing this right now for my autistic son and wondering if you have no context of the what the sound is, would it still have some effect. Unfortunately, I do not think so. 😢

I'm in Alabama. I would love to see Scotland. Tuscaloosa born and raised!! I moved just a little farther north a few years back and the difference in night sound was shocking. It was so quiet up here. Now I leave the windows open most of the summer just for these sounds. There are owls all over the place up here and a neighbor down the road has a rooster that must have come from a different time zone!! Before Tuscaloosa got so big we used to go to sipsey swamp when I was young. I got to hear a panthers scream a few times. It's terrifying because they sound so human but u can tell it's not.

I'm a southerner living in Scotland! 14 years now. Listening to this to feel a little less homesick.

Cum

Yes! Sometimes I also combine it with the soft trickle of water flowing..

Sounds just like this in Delaware summers too. I love it

Me too . A NY state transplant. I’m sad missing my beautiful fall season rt now .

Go back to jamaica

Hello, since you mentioned it, I'm from Bradenton in the Tampa area. Been here 15 years but might be headed to Tennessee soon!✌️😸

Hi, from Florida’s Gulf coast -We say we’re from North (Northwest) Florida where it’s like the South and not like Central and South Florida which is like the North.

You're most welcome! So appreciate you sharing that!

Same I deal with tinnitus and this sound is the bestb

Same here 😌

I have tinnitus and this sounds horrid to me lol. I have it where I live every evening/night and I have to put headphones on.

The high pitched cricket sounds trigger my tinnitus so much that the "ghosted" sound, for 1+ hour, is as uncomfortable as the actual recorded sounds. HOWEVER, I listen to this all night, and choose to suffer with tinnitus in the morning. I'm from Massachusetts country living and heard this all summer along with intermittent whip-poor-will calls.

Good luck doggo

Hope you are less stressed now and doing better :)

good luck not being shot

We still have fireflies in Virginia

I'm from South Texas, and I was just thinking the same thing about lightning bugs! My grandma's yard used to be lit up by thousands of them at night. We would try to catch as many as we can and stuff our pockets with them. Our pants would be glowing! I read somewhere that they are dying off from light pollution and industrialization. With more buildings, roads, and parking lots being built, their habitats are being destroyed, and they just die off. Very sad 😥

Lightning bugs are abundant already here in Georgia, and this is exactly what it's like outside! Love this one !!

I spent a week in Augusta a few years ago in June and wow! The motel had a creek behind it so all night I'd hear this PLUS thousands of frogs. It was awesome.

I still often listen to this video. ✌💕🙏💤🥰

I'm in Seattle from Georgia Same

In Seattle from Georgia also same :)

Gratitude from Portland. Missing WVa

Glad you enjoyed it!

I moved to Florida a year ago. At times I do miss Louisiana and the memories I have there. But never in a million years would I go back.

I moved to Louisiana five years ago. Beautiful, spectacular scenery, but man, it is a harsh place in which to try to make a living. It will test your survival skills and teach you new ones. I have to admit, although I've only been here a short time, I'm thinking it might already be time to try to relocate...

You’re welcome

Same here. If not this, then the sounds of rain, tree frogs, and heavy humidity. Yes. Humidity has a sound imo 😆 Hope your homesick feelings pass soon. Much love from Louisiana

You like the D hmm

Yes the bullfrog just screaming btw I’m from Mississippi and this is what I hear every hot humid summer night

Hopefully you get to visit! I promise the food'll change your life!

Thank you so much, Kathleen!

I’m from Beaufort, SC and I grew up mostly in rural areas. Hearing the sounds of the cicadas on a summer night certainly hits different❤

It sounds like a combination of both. This sounds just like hot summer nights in San Antonio (I have always called them chicharras, which is Spanish for cicadas) But I agree with you I hear Katydids in this recording. It's still beautiful-either way-sounds you can only hear in the South. I love it and miss it. I'm in California now😢

I so agree 💗

You should come to the south one summer. Find some beautiful scenery with this sound and combine it with , humidity, a back porch, or maybe a true bonfire instead (not a tiny campfire but like a real bonfire), stereotypical rocking chair, a little hillbilly/delta blues music, some bourbon or damn near frozen ice cold cheap beer (trust me), and most importantly (even with a fire) bug spray. It's the full experience that everybody should try before ever once judging the south. Makes for good memories for friends or even alone in a peaceful meditation/thought. Either way when the critters get to singing and that sun starts to lower so does your blood pressure. It works out the problems and clears the mind. it's why I would never move away from my hometown of Chattanooga, TN. I have the method too practiced. Spot and all. Fuck winter lol.

You can set a timer on your iPad, and where it says “when timer ends” scroll to the bottom and click “stop playing”. So you can set it for 1 hour and instead of playing a ringtone or alarm it just turns off any media.
