Recording of a field cricket, Gryllus pennsylvanicus, that found its way into my garage a couple nights ago. (The cement floor and cinderblock wall probably accounts for the slight reverberation.) Location: Northeastern US. Since it was a warm night—about 85 ºF (29 ºC)—the chirping is fairly frequent. Recorded on a Sony Minidisc recorder with Sony ECM-MS907 Stereo Microphone, transferred to a Macintosh. From the 1 minute+ master recording; I selected a 10-second soundbyte with the lowest level of ambient motor traffic noise. A high pass filter was used to remove background noise below 2.2 kHz; the major frequency of the song is about 4.7 kHz. The file was converted to ogg format.
