My father said the same thing when he was here a couple weeks ago. It just seems really loud for an insect. The recording does sound a bit quiet, but I can't imagine an insect making that much volume. But then what do I know? I just want to get rid of them!

I can't get pics of them because I can't see the buggers - they're hidden among the leaves, and they only make noise after dark. Unfortunately they never seem to sit near the streetlights.
