#cricket chirp sounds

[asmrtune]

Cricket chirping sounds are produced by male crickets as a way to communicate with females and establish territory. The sound is created by rubbing their front wings together in a process called stridulation. Each species of cricket has a unique song, which is used to attract females for mating. The chirping sound is also used to ward off competing males and establish dominance. The rate and pattern of chirping can vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the individual cricket's age and size. The sound of cricket chirping is often associated with warm summer nights and is considered a familiar and soothing part of nature's symphony.

I made a post on the wiki but idk if it'll be seen, so I'll paste it here too--

I was wondering if me and queen0fm0nsters could be credited for the first 5 transcripts of The Sounds of Nightmares? They were first posted to my tumblr page and then added to the wiki without my knowledge. I'm perfectly fine with this, btw, accessibility is important!! But maybe a link or names somewhere saying who wrote them would be nice, and I don't seem to have editing access on mobile.

I'd also like for Chapter 6's transcript writer to be credited as well!! I didn't write that one but they deserve a pat on the back too.

Edit: It got resolved!!! We're all good!

mandarin pronunciation guide

it’s always frustrating to see people mispronouncing things if you know what it’s supposed to sound like, and this happens quite often with mandarin, because a lot of the pinyin phonetic representations aren’t exactly intuitive for english speakers. luckily for people who want to be respectful, they are incredibly consistent. none of that sometimes-this-letter-sounds-one-way bullshit like with english. so here’s a quick guide:

first of all, mandarin has a pretty limited range of ways words can start and end, which is why there are so many homophones. but it makes it easier for pronunciation. most words start with a consonant, and if they start with a vowel it will be an 'a' or 'e' most of the time.

most important, mandarin does not have the 'ay' sound english-speakers say in 'hey', 'day', etc. if an 'a' is the only vowel in a word, it's pronounced like the 'o' in tongs. the common name 'yang' is not yay-ng but yah-ng. the city of Shanghai is not shay-ng hi but shah-ng hi.

the letter c is always pronounced as ts, like the beginning of 'tsunami'

z is pronounced similarly, but by vocalizing it rather than it being only breath, like turning a P into a B or an F into a V in english.

'zh' is a sound we don't have in english. it's at the very front of the mouth, like a harder version of a 'j' almost mixed with a soft 'g.' so the name 'zhang' would not be 'zah-ng' but 'jah-ng'

x is pronounced like a sh at the very front of your mouth, so the city Xi'an is pronounced like 'tshee-an'

e is always pronounced as a schwa (ə), the 'uh' sound in 'duh'. so 'sheng' is pronounced like 'shung'

q is pronounced as a tight ch the same way x is a sh, so the Qing dynasty is the 'tching' dynasty.

there's obviously a lot more to it, but those bullets are the biggies. it's not the hardest thing in the world, and even just removing the english 'ay' sound from any pronunciation of mandarin does wonders to make it sound more normal.

So, I just tried doing the 4th day glitch in Majora's Mask (3Ds version) and a couple of things happened. First, the only video tutorial I found was by this french kid 7 years ago. I did not understand a single word of what he said but I figured it out anyways. Second, I think I did it wrong? The moon is still in the sky (It's not supposed to be in this glitch) and there's still plenty of NPS walking around. Also the sky is red? I don't even know if that's a part of the game or not. Third, I talked to that guy in South Clock Town that's always looking at a poster and uh...

I'm literally just stuck like this. The camera is positioned as if I'm talking to him, and the touch screen is even darkened (something that only happens during cutscenes or dialogue).

So, maybe DON'T talk to this guy if you're trying to glitch the game out.

Maybe I'll reblog this once I actually get the glitch right, but it might take a little while.

What if.... Cricket. Was the reason Cicada got so into entomology and named themself Cicada in the first place. Like they were into it a little bit because of Eli but I just think it'd be sweet if the big obsession got kick-started because of Cricket

yeah!!!!!!!!!

cricket is assigned to the med team on cicada's case at the compound and they try so hard to keep their distance and just do their job, but they're way too curious for their own good lol and tend to talk a lot to fill the silence, so i think their friendship mostly started out with cricket telling cicada how he got his name, then bringing some preserved bugs and things they have as decor in their quarters at the compound and spiraling to likee sneaking books about entomology from the research library to give to cicada :D

Cricket chirping sounds are produced by male crickets as a means of communication. The sound is created by rubbing their wings together, a process called stridulation. The chirping sound serves two primary purposes: attracting females for mating and establishing territory.

The frequency, pattern, and duration of the chirping can vary between species and individual crickets. The chirping is produced by the wings, which have specialized structures called file and scraper. By rubbing these structures together, the crickets create a series of clicks that resonate and amplify to form their distinctive song.

The rate of chirping is influenced by several factors, including temperature, humidity, and the cricket's age. Generally, higher temperatures increase the rate of chirping, while lower temperatures slow it down. Male crickets adjust their chirping to optimize their chances of attracting a mate, with some species producing louder and more frequent chirps to stand out among competitors.

Cricket chirping is a fascinating aspect of these insects' behavior and is often associated with warm summer evenings and rural environments. The distinct and rhythmic sound of cricket chirping is not only an auditory delight but also an important element of the natural world.

Nothing brings me to tears quite like the pronunciation of the French "h" in front of a word/vowel.
