- The sound of Dog-day cicadas ( Neotibicen canicularis ) sounds like an electrical wire humming. They are annual cicadas, so they don't wait 13-17 years to come out. They live approx 3-5 years. Although it seems that they're not heard some summers as much as in others because the broods are smaller in certain years.
For 13-17 year cicadas there's this video.

the sounds of a Canadian summer
When i was new in Canada i thought it was a sound of the power lines
I just got off the phone with Toronto Hydro because I thought it was the power lines and the tech was the one who told me about the Cicada, which led me here. Apparently they get tons of calls about it!
When I was a kid, I thought it was some sort of insect, and my parents told me it was power lines!
When I was younger I thought this was the sun 🤦🏼♂️
I thought it was a bird
Ha ha
that is so cute lmao
I thought it was a tree frog 😭✌️
Same I would always follow the noise but never find it
For the love of God and Humanity, please do not ever delete this video. I went through schizophrenia because of this, not knowing what this sound was. Now I know what it is. This is closure and this video has saved my life.
Also, please never call anybody a "buzz kill" [ACTUALLY, I'm just joking, feel free to say whatever the fudge you want to anyone! As long as you're not harming/abusing them or bullying them].
What I'm getting at is, during my Schizophrenia I believed I was part of a conspiracy. And one of the things the voice in my head kept reminding me of was that term 'buzz kill'. I felt that, this sound was there to eventually drain me out mentally and kill me. Hence why it's called "buzz kill".
Moreover- what I'm getting at is 'anything you've heard' in the past may take a different form of meaning during schizophrenia and play on your mind. In my case, since it was the buzzing that intensified my schizophrenia, it was the term 'Buzz Kill'. I obviously knew what buzz kill meant when I first heard it. But it just took a different meaning during Schizo.
I'm writing about my whole experience, now that I've recovered. Maybe I shall share it if I complete writing about it successfully. But for now, please keep this in mind. Thanks :)
And For now, here is an Instagram post I made to spread awareness:

@@alistairfernandesWow, that must have a been a scary time for you, I’m very glad you’re okay now, and hope you still are, best of luck for everything!

test again, why is youtube deleting my comments
When our kids were young they were fascinated by watching the cicadas after they had crawled out of the ground in the larva (but with legs?) stage. It would crawl a little ways up a tree, or sometimes the side of the house. Inside it would grow and then split the skin and leave the brown shell behind. The kind of pretty green winged creature would crawl higher up the tree. It turned darker as its wings dried up and eventually flew away to live in the treetops. One year my daughter had watched this process right through and a Blue jay swept down and gobbled the cicada up. She was heartbroken.... so many tears.
It's the sound of summer.
I grew up in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and now live in Nova Scotia. This sound is nostalgic. To me, this is what summer sounds like. Thanks for clarifying what type of cicada this is!
Glad you enjoyed it. When I was a kid I was always asking about that wire humming noise and nobody could figure out what I was talking about. Took me years to find out.
I came looking for this sound because I miss my home
I spent 3 months in the US not knowing what that sound is :)) ... I was looking for short circuits the first week :))
I've seen a dozen people this year calling them 'crickets' lol
This is great! First cicada sounds ive round online that sounds correct lol I’m from Owen Sound ON, so must be same type you guys have in Orillia.
Along these lines of latitude that's what they sound like in Ontario and the Northern U.S
I moved back to Ontario in late summer 2012. It was a very hot summer and this sound welcomed me home (they don't have them in the UK). Thanks for sharing it!
I moved away from Canada and miss this sound. Please keep this video up :)
Hear these sounds non stop daily in Northern Ontario but have never seen a Cicada so puzzles me
Oh, so that is how they sound like, I came to hear these cicadas from Habitual Linecrosser's channel, I now most certainly understand the mock expression he used.
Between 6:30-7:30pm. Temperature 24°C ( 75°F ) .
Reminds me of pleasent midday naps in summer
WAKES ME UP EVERY MORNING.. SAME SOUND
THANK YOU for this! I’ve always wondered what insect made that noise in the summer, because my auntie always called it “the hot bug” and I never knew the real name! I didn’t even know we had cicadas in Northern Ontario, but I guess we do!
My uncle called them the July bugs ...even though they are at their peak in August!! Today they are going crazy...humid day thats why. Toronto
Learned that the sound greatly differs from special around the world. The Japanese one sounds pretty cool. NZ sounds like a dot matrix printer. Texas' one sounds like a rattlesnake.
Yeah I've heard some of those. These particular ones confused me as a kid when I asked what that electrical wire sound was and no one knew what i was talking about.
i had no idea this was a cicada lol
Species name: Neotibicen canicularis
I'll add that
What city?
1 hour north of Toronto near Barrie
It’s sounds like a cartoon where the sun is hot
a whiny high pitched sun
What town is this in? I geo map these all over north America.
This video was taken at a friends house in Orillia, Ontario
Kane Alson ok thanks.
you're welcome.
Oh I am just south of u in Barrie XD and I hear them here
I'm in Innisfil and I hear them here as well.
It is not September 2023 yet as in your title!
Wait.... That's Cicadas? I thought it was just the wind....
lol
I just found one in my backyard. Ugly bastard lol
