I remember when I was a kid on long Island in the 80's. They were so loud. I heard there's going to be some giant hatching this year. Dormant for 30 years or some shit. That explains why they sounded louder when I was a kid. Guess I'm not going nuts
here's a map of the different broods. we had the big 17-year one in 2021, so we won't be due for another big one until 2038. we do have cicadas every summer, call them "june bugs" and they are annoying but the sound is very nostalgic for me. the big broods are deafening, though. sounds like downed electric lines.
