Reminds me of sitting on my grandparents front porch at night in the summertime. All my aunts and uncles would come over visit. We would all sit there and talk in the dim light and sometimes shell peas or beans. I would watch the lightning bugs and heat lightning off in the distance and listen to the adults talk about times gone by, How I miss those days.
Very familiar experiences-great description! Why didn’t we get to become those adults, or grandparents, shellin’ peas or butterbeans, and talking about the good ole days to our grandkids? Everything seems like it changed so fast.
Would give almost anything to time travel back for another evening like that, sitting with a glass of cold sweet tea on the front porch with the grandparents and mom and dad. 😭
This reminds me of the summer nights in Kentucky. My grandparents owned a farm and as a child, I used to sit on a swing on the front porch. That was over fifty years ago. It was a wonderful time.
My fathers side of the family are also from Kentucky. Grand rivers Im from south texas so i also visited a lot as a child. These sounds put me back on my grandmothes porch
Beth Fallis I was raised on a farm for part of my childhood and it was wonderful!! We would catch lightning bugs and put them in a Mason Jar and set them on the bed post at night and watch them light up!! 😇💕💓💗💜
Kentucky native myself. These sounds are primal, simple, and timeless. Winters seem long but this recording is grounding and soothing. Be well. Thanks.
@DARKKILLERTHEKILLER I used to live in a cutty ass hick town named Dexter, just outside of ann arbor and 45mins from detroit. You know when you're a little kid and you think your life is soooo boring so you start talking to the dark and making wishes? Be careful what you wish for. This place deserves to sink into the sea... you sound like you might like this dark ambient playlist i made. It's perfect for lurking.ua-cam.com/play/PLW58qUbNzGLvPMrU4ArF7MW7zTI_Lyeeh.html
Sounds like this on summer nights in Georgia and throughout the southeastern United States. Where I live, the crickets, katydids, and tree frogs are music to my ears that lull me into a soothing, relaxing 💤 sleep. Isn't nature wonderful.
As a southern boy, spring peepers and bull frogs in the pond was always my favorite. Watching the lantern bugs at night after you the first cuttin' was down with a glass of ice cold tea is the best :) be well my friend
I listen to this soundtrack and I can’t believe how real it sounds. This has been my lullaby my whole life. Avid outdoorsman, spent many nights out sleeping with them bugs that sing me to sleep now….I’m a day sleeper and it’s WAY too hot to have my window open. From Greenville SC…you nailed it!! Thanks for the audio. It HELPS me REST!!!
The sound really hits you hard when you hear them and you are about to sleep in a tent all snug in your sleeping bag and hearing the slight crackle of a dying campfire
The sounds you hear in Michigan during the spring, summer, and early fall nights. The sky either cloudy or completely clear and the stars glistening across the night sky and no wind whatsoever. I remember growing up and my family would go to my uncles family’s place up in Cadillac, way out in the boonies, and we’d but up and outside late at night listening to my dad and uncle talking away about growing up and their childhood, and when us kids would be sent to bed, the windows were open and this is what we heard with a hint of our parents talking in the distance and laughing......... A little under 20 years ago and my memory never ceases to amaze me
Sitting here listening to the night sounds outside my window. Katydids, crickets, and frogs in the large field next to my house. Always reminds me of my youth, growing up on the farm.
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania 18 years. I left 7 years ago, and live in southern Florida. Southern Florida does not have the same summer bugs. It’s not the same. I think these critters live mostly in the Appalachians. I’m moving north soon and I’m so ready to hear this again. This brings back my childhood living in the woods and hearing these all night long, sitting on my porch, or laying on my trampoline looking at the sky listening to the nature. Awesome vid, sounds amazing where you are located.
I also moved away from Appalachia to Florida . Even with the white sand beaches I needed my night bugs Singing me to sleep. Also needed those beautiful mountains again. So I've been back from many years.
I grew up in West Virginia and I used to sit on the porch swing and listen to this nearly every night on the warm summer nights at my grandmas house, along with the lightning bugs lighting up the trees. Miss it dearly.
@@inter_1097 Yeah, when I was quite young you could hear them really good when my family would unload the mini van after a long four hour drive from Clarksville to our cabin my family used to own in Gatlinburg and we used to arrive late into the night!!! Since the Gatlinburg fire I miss those moments!!!
This is the very best! Katydids are so soothing! They say mellow summer night In the south... I am so soothing and wonderful. I love sleeping with this. I remember when you 1st made it and you had problems with UA-cam. I am so glad it survived and you survived UA-cam UA-cam! This should have several million views by now.. I know it once did and that were taking away. This was in the beginning I hope they are lesson.
im still s kid and i love there sounds, somtimes in the summer, i go to my friends house, at night and play this game called bigfoot we made up. and i hear this, i love it.
The second I clicked & heard this video, I immediately knew this sound had to be from my home region. And indeed it is :) Amazing. I do not have words to describe how deep this is for me. I can't sleep with windows open where I live, and the neighbors are often a bit noisy. This is a literally perfect mix, perfectly authentic, real soundtrack of exactly how it sounds at night here in the sweet, lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Southern Appalachia. With this I can control volume, play it through my bluetooth speaker... and sleep curled in the arm of childhood memories and green mountain peace. -- Iahel, heading for sleep here in the East Asheville, NC foothills of the Smoky Mountains of the Blue Ridge. Peace, y'all ;)
I too are from the area you are from and it's the most wonderful place. I agree this is the coup de grace Sleep videos. Can't sleep with the windows open anymore where I live That I remember that was beautiful days!
my daughter was born here in the Hudson valley, 20 yrs ago this past September - driving home from the hospital at around 2 AM after she was born, the katydids were out everywhere. love katydids
I think a lot of people confuse these with cicadas, Cicadas don't make sound at night, katydids do. although the periodical cicadas do in early morning near dawn, they sound like a phaser from star trek continuously
I grew up in Pennsylvania, and moved to Montana over ten years ago. I really miss the crickets and katydids on summer nights. And the fireflies too. Though interesting, these katydids sound like they have shorter calls than the ones where I grew up.
My summer lullaby as a kid growing up. Open window and the sounds of the night. Works like a charm for me to drift off to sleep effortlessly and sleep well all night.
I’m in my sleep bag right now on my bed cause you can’t beat the warm cool summer air in New Jersey as you sit in your tent the crinkly pine needles beneath you and the soft crackle of a fire from the last scout holding fire watch the outdoors are amazing and I can’t wait until COVID is over and we can finally get back to camping
What's fun and interesting to note is how many different people from all over the entire US can relate to this from when they were growing up. I too remembered growing up in Alexandria, VA and hearing the Katydids at night when Daddy would have us crack out windows open. Or just sitting up late at night hearing them out by the river or on the patio. When I moved to Alabama in my 20's I was delighted to hear them again each hot and humid summer night when I sat outside with my Children under the stars. The timeless comfort of this sound evokes such a peaceful sensation. One of safety, happiness, children laughing, barbecues and swimming. And of course, sleep! What's even more beautiful is how your video has brought so many people together with happy thoughts of years gone by that comfort us today and that conjure up feelings of love and people from our past. That the simple sound of insects can create a world of peace and bring together 100s of strangers who aren't anymore. Your a matchmaker of people and happiness SleepySound! Thank you from all of us. This has always been my go-to video at 🌙 night since I first heard it. And I love reading the comments because so many of us remember a different state or location but we all remember the sound that we attached with our memories. 😁
A sound i took for granted as a child, visiting, then end up staying for years in the deep south. I long to hear that sound again, yet never knew what made it, now that I'm grown I heard it in a movie; A trip to bountiful , so I started to search again I said hey google what makes this sound "I made the sound" and it lead me to this video. Tonight you will take me back in time, not just tonight but time and time again. Thank you. Much Love😊
This, to me paints a very specific scene...If not at the drive in movie theater waiting for the next showing...camping! A gentle sound of the crackling fire, and nature's musicians calmly cooing me into a peaceful slumber! A lot of bugs bring nothing but misery, but lets not forget....Crickets and katydids are the musicians of the insect world!
These sounds were so loud in the summer evenings that when we were watching TV in 1950's we could hardly hear the shows. My parents bought a wooded acre when they got married in 1948 - before everything got ruined with housing developments and paving everything over. It was pure heaven.
I miss the sound of katydids. Growing up in New Jersey, they sung me to sleep every night in the summer, Don't have them beautiful sounds here in western Oregon.
This is the sound I fell asleep to every summer growing up in Michigan. My second story bedroom window was propped wide open above my head so I wouldn't waste any of it before fall came.
Hear Katydids at my Georgia home all summer beginning in early July. Add in the Crickets and Tree Frogs and then there is a summer orchestra--Mother Nature is so grand.😊👍😊. Thank you so much for uploading and posting this.
I agree. This recording is excellent and helpful for sleep. I would love to hear a recording with everything you describe, plus a distant chuck-will's-widow or two, and maybe a bullfrog. Punctuated by the occasional descant of a mockingbird call. That is what my yard used to sound like at night (Coastal Mississippi pineywoods) before the new(er) highway was built, and the new millennial neighbors moved in a half-mile away with their inconsiderate thumping bass stereos and 4-wheeling/tresspassing on the 80 acres south of us 'til past midnight. (Sometimes toss a bit of gunfire and/or fireworks in for good measure.) Now mostly traffic noise or these selfish jerks and all their buddies is what we get to hear at night. I wish I would have made a recording 20 years ago when it was still that peaceful, layered symphony so I had it to listen to now. I really appreciate recordings like this so I can fall asleep to the Creator's lullaby instead of man's cacaphony.
But there are no katydids in Texas. My area, full of traffic and crickets, will never amount to what those new jersey nights felt like as a child. I hope one day I can go back.
I live in Michigan and have this loud cricket or katydid chirping rather obnoxiously right outside my window. Knowing it'll keep me up all night, I started playing this on a speaker... I think it's confusing the daylights out of the cricket/katydid so much it keeps stunning him into silence for a few seconds at a time... now his loud chirping just blends into this track! I'm enjoying these southern katydid sounds so much that I think I'll be playing them all night tonight to make the loud chirping less noticeable. So thank you!!
Reminds me perfectly of summer nights in rural Maryland. I've lived abroad for many years now and have trouble sleeping due to sound pollution and anxiety. This is the perfect solution to that. Puts me right back into a comfortable place.
I just love the sounds of a southern summer! But now because of my health problems, I am unable to sleep with the window open to hear it. This helps me sleep! Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this. I live in Seattle but I'm from Atlanta. I like the dead silent nights most of the time, but sometimes I want loud bugs. This is great and the audio quality is amazing, really makes me feel it all over.
Same here! Living in Seattle area but originally from Atlanta. We have tree frogs on our farm in the late summer but no katydids, cicadas, or crickets. I so miss their nighttime symphony.
It's uncanny how it instantly makes me sleepy - I ran into this video by pure coincidence, I'm even sipping on coffee as of writing this, and yet the moment it started playing I actually started yawning :D Now I'm looking forward to playing it at night as I sleep, thank you
Finally figured out what these are. I thought they were bugs, but of course they are all up in the trees where you can't see them. Relaxing to listen to for sure.
Jacob Anthony LOL! Just purchased a home in PA and was wondering what was this annoying sound. I searched up many different kinds of frogs because I knew it had to be one. But no, a Katydid! Which I know it exists. Smh
@@rheannerodriguez1326 Some of them only "come out to sing" at certain times sometimes years apart. They look like a cross between grasshoppers and crickets. I grew up on the bayou of Louisiana it would be so many it sounds like one long sound.
Paper_Sword Some types of katydids are aggressive and can bite. If you carry a common one in your hand, you might have it latch on to you; to pick one up to move or remove it, carefully grasp it behind the wings-it cannot bite in that position. Anything with a mandible like that can bite, sometimes painfully, but they are not venomous.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say you recorded this while sitting on my front porch late at night. I live in west-central Indiana, right smack-dab on the IN/IL line, and this is exactly what my husband and I listen to while enjoying the cooler July temps at night before we head to bed. LOVE that I can listen to this in December and reminisce about summer fun before I drift off. Thank you for this recording. It makes my heart smile. ♥️
Whoa! Talk about memories coming back! I went to school for just one year in Tennessee. A girl I became "umm..friends" with took me to her grandparent's farm after I said we had no lightning bugs on the beaches of Southern California. She walked me over to a massive old tree, which seemed like it was almost communicating with us as thousands of the small bugs lit up and faded over and over. She told me about her older siblings teaching her to twist off the end of the poor bug which chemically lights up and I said this was such a treat I could never kill one unless they bite or sting. To this day the one summer I had in Tennessee remains unique and very special.
I live in Fairview a few miles outside of Asheville and these are the sounds I grew up with in the summer. They're a bit louder than this where I live though. They can get so loud at times that it can hurt your ears. Kadydids are one of the things I look most forward to in the summer.
Clell Biggs Well hello neighbor, I live in Fairview (Reynolds) too! Lol. I hope it never gets developed, or turned into one big giant mass of hustle-bustle hotels, traffic & parking lots like downtown Asheville has recently become! I dream of buying some land in Sugar Hollow for a primitive house, near Hickory Nut Gap Farm. Yes I'm glad to have this video so we can control volume! My dad used to have an A-frame house in the woods in Crab Creek (Henderson Co), and the bugs singing at night up close to the house were deafening! You couldn't even hold a conversation on the deck lol, and it was hard to sleep in summer sometimes. Ah, slow life, good peaceful neighbors, fresh air & green living. Blessings to you & yours.
I am also a Boy Scout, an Eagle to be more specific and these sounds bring me back to those restful humid summer nights with a fan to keep you cool and by the way I am a Tennessee boy
If you grew up in the south like me and some others in these comments you will immediately recognize this incoming sound!!! Southern Summers are so amazing!!!
sounds like a night in the country of central illinois only if it had the occasional bull frog or a distant whipper will and it would be perfect. thank u for sharing
The sound of a north Carolina night. ive Only seen one or two katydids in my life .. im 17 . but I hear them all the time cause I live surrounded by a forest
This reminds me of when I went camping with my dad out on our back yard. We stayed up just me and him for hours telling ghost stories eating little candy’s and all my talking about my interests. I wish there was a way to know your In the good old days before you leave them.
The summer nights are beautiful it makes me forget about the scorching temperatures so i hear Katydids a lot during the summer nights along with the sound of trains.
If you are in the desert desert, it is always the most beautiful outside of cities--and the best areas are in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. The Nevada desert has always struck me as a bit bleak...
Reminds me of sitting on my grandparents front porch at night in the summertime. All my aunts and uncles would come over visit. We would all sit there and talk in the dim light and sometimes shell peas or beans. I would watch the lightning bugs and heat lightning off in the distance and listen to the adults talk about times gone by, How I miss those days.
That was when life was good!
We must of grew up simular. Cause that's all too familiar.
Very familiar experiences-great description! Why didn’t we get to become those adults, or grandparents, shellin’ peas or butterbeans, and talking about the good ole days to our grandkids? Everything seems like it changed so fast.
Thanks for calling them lightning bugs. I never knew what a firefly was till I was in my fifties.
Would give almost anything to time travel back for another evening like that, sitting with a glass of cold sweet tea on the front porch with the grandparents and mom and dad. 😭
This reminds me of the summer nights in Kentucky. My grandparents owned a farm and as a child, I used to sit on a swing on the front porch. That was over fifty years ago. It was a wonderful time.
My fathers side of the family are also from Kentucky. Grand rivers
Im from south texas so i also visited a lot as a child. These sounds put me back on my grandmothes porch
Beth Fallis I was raised on a farm for part of my childhood and it was wonderful!! We would catch lightning bugs and put them in a Mason Jar and set them on the bed post at night and watch them light up!! 😇💕💓💗💜
Kentucky native myself. These sounds are primal, simple, and timeless. Winters seem long but this recording is grounding and soothing. Be well. Thanks.
No
Beautiful story. I feel like I’m there as you describe it❤️
...used to live in Michigan, now im in the east bay northern Cali...i miss the sound of thunder and summer bugs. thank you for this ;)
Yup. This sounds like my childhood -- woods behind our house in SW Mich.
Me too man! I grew up in NC and now live in Vegas. God I miss this sound at night, I just dont miss the crapy pay back there.
@DARKKILLERTHEKILLER I used to live in a cutty ass hick town named Dexter, just outside of ann arbor and 45mins from detroit.

Ocef should be f
Rural Michigan, born and raised, but now in Southern California. I miss this sound so much. It feeds my soul and contects me with the cosmic symphony.
Sounds like this on summer nights in Georgia and throughout the southeastern United States. Where I live, the crickets, katydids, and tree frogs are music to my ears that lull me into a soothing, relaxing 💤 sleep. Isn't nature wonderful.
We even hear the katydids up in northeastern US too. Hearing them every night in Massachusetts.
I live in GA and love to open my windows at night in the summer to hear these sounds.
As a southern boy, spring peepers and bull frogs in the pond was always my favorite. Watching the lantern bugs at night after you the first cuttin' was down with a glass of ice cold tea is the best :) be well my friend
Yes. I heard these sounds too in rural Alabama putting me to sleep at night when I was a child.
Maryland girl here. Live in the woods near the Pennsylvania line. Unbelievable how noisy it is at night, but I love it. 🦗🦗🦗
Omg sweet Virginia summertime!!!!come 2 am you’d definitely start hearing the whippoorwills
I listen to this soundtrack and I can’t believe how real it sounds. This has been my lullaby my whole life. Avid outdoorsman, spent many nights out sleeping with them bugs that sing me to sleep now….I’m a day sleeper and it’s WAY too hot to have my window open. From Greenville SC…you nailed it!! Thanks for the audio. It HELPS me REST!!!
The sound really hits you hard when you hear them and you are about to sleep in a tent all snug in your sleeping bag and hearing the slight crackle of a dying campfire
@@garrisonbrumblay9137yes!
The sounds you hear in Michigan during the spring, summer, and early fall nights.

Blount County
One of my favorite things about visiting Gatlinburg are the Katydids!
We’re listening to that right now. We’re just spitting distance from Dollywood
@@inter_1097 Yeah, when I was quite young you could hear them really good when my family would unload the mini van after a long four hour drive from Clarksville to our cabin my family used to own in Gatlinburg and we used to arrive late into the night!!!

Beautifully said!
This brings back memories to when I used to live in Pennsylvania. Now I live in Florida.
One of the very best sounds of summer! Thank you!!!!
Thank you too!
I grew up in Pennsylvania, and moved to Montana over ten years ago.
I really miss the crickets and katydids on summer nights. And the fireflies too.
Though interesting, these katydids sound like they have shorter calls than the ones where I grew up.
The ones in northern New Jersey literally sounded like "Katy did. Katy did it. Katy did. Katy did it." on repeat.
This is the sound of home for both me and my wife. We use this every night to provide nature’s symphony as we sleep. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
Childhood memories. Summer nights, windows open. Good times, the world was different. Thanks for this. 🥱😴
Our pleasure!
My summer lullaby as a kid growing up. Open window and the sounds of the night. Works like a charm for me to drift off to sleep effortlessly and sleep well all night.
People are so good at that time we never thought about locking the door they are night.
It takes a culture Acting right to produce the beauty that we grow up in.
I’m in my sleep bag right now on my bed cause you can’t beat the warm cool summer air in New Jersey as you sit in your tent the crinkly pine needles beneath you and the soft crackle of a fire from the last scout holding fire watch the outdoors are amazing and I can’t wait until COVID is over and we can finally get back to camping
Couldn't agree more!
You can camp anytime you want! It's called the forest.
What's fun and interesting to note is how many different people from all over the entire US can relate to this from when they were growing up.

A sound i took for granted as a child, visiting, then end up staying for years in the deep south. I long to hear that sound again, yet never knew what made it, now that I'm grown I heard it in a movie; A trip to bountiful , so I started to search again
I said hey google what makes this sound "I made the sound" and it lead me to this video.
Tonight you will take me back in time, not just tonight but time and time again.
Thank you.
Much Love😊
Incredibly soothing. Nature is the best. Thank you for sharing!
I think the Lord made theses sounds to sooth us

Love this. When spring comes here in Michigan and I start hearing the insects signing my heart soars.
Yeah, after a long winter its energizing to hear frogs start singing in marshy areas, redwing blackbirds and Robin's return.
Sounds like a new jersey summer night :)
But there are no katydids in Texas.

I'm enjoying these southern katydid sounds so much that I think I'll be playing them all night tonight to make the loud chirping less noticeable. So thank you!!
You're welcome. Funny story! :) Good luck!
All summer long this is what we hear, now that its winter this video is helping fill that summertime void
yes MAN FACE FROM ROBLOX
Reminds me perfectly of summer nights in rural Maryland. I've lived abroad for many years now and have trouble sleeping due to sound pollution and anxiety. This is the perfect solution to that. Puts me right back into a comfortable place.
Thank you, this is INCREDIBLE!
The sound of my whole summer youth in one video - keep making more 😃
Catherine Nagel Yay! Glad you like it. :)
I just love the sounds of a southern summer! But now because of my health problems, I am unable to sleep with the window open to hear it. This helps me sleep! Thank you so much!
This is a really helpful sleep aid for tinnitus sufferers. Thank you.
Peaceful. Reminds me of home.
My pleasure!
It's still the best . Number 1 to me. . Used this last night. I slept so good. Can't wait to hear them outside.. 👍
Thank you for posting this. I live in Seattle but I'm from Atlanta. I like the dead silent nights most of the time, but sometimes I want loud bugs. This is great and the audio quality is amazing, really makes me feel it all over.
Thanks! And thanks for sharing. Glad it helps you connect with home like that.
The Seattle area doesn't have insect sounds?
@@thancehazelwood9999 not really, nope. It's weird and hard to believe. You don't notice it at first but when you do, it creeps up on ya.
Same here! Living in Seattle area but originally from Atlanta. We have tree frogs on our farm in the late summer but no katydids, cicadas, or crickets. I so miss their nighttime symphony.
As a kid this is the sound that put me to sleep in our tent
As a kid in the south the old people would say from the time you first hear them it’s 8 weeks till frost 💜💜
Yuck lol
@@tim-obeartheclawmachineguy9616???
sounds exactly like the summer nights here on Long Island NY
every summer i hear this, i love it, we just open a window and watch tv before bed. and yes im a kid!
It's uncanny how it instantly makes me sleepy - I ran into this video by pure coincidence, I'm even sipping on coffee as of writing this, and yet the moment it started playing I actually started yawning :D Now I'm looking forward to playing it at night as I sleep, thank you
qwertyCandy I know what you mean... I recorded these guys myself. Can't wait for them to come back in the summer. Thanks for the comment!
SleepySounds Thank you for the amazing work, it's all the more impressive that you recorded this yourself ❤️
Thanks again!
Any time!
sounds like my backyard in the summer, very soothing and relaxing. Thank you for sharing!
I miss hearing this through my open bedroom window at night now that summer has come to an end. 😢
Thank you for this recording, it brought back fond childhood memories.
This i love. It out ranks all others.!! Used it often. Using it now. 😊 ☺ 💤 😴
Thanks for this! The incomprable serenity it inevitably delivers is serendipitous to say the least!
This is nice! I love hearing them at night but at the same time it makes me a little sad because it means summer is almost over.
Finally figured out what these are. I thought they were bugs, but of course they are all up in the trees where you can't see them. Relaxing to listen to for sure.
Reminds me of tent camping at night.
This is my favorite one!! My fiance and I listen to this nightly!
sounds exactly like the nights at my lake house, definitely using this again
The Mouse King ehhhh.... no
I used to go 'camping' outside with my dad in the front lawn at my old house before the divorce and this is nostalgia, thank you internet stranger.
This is a katydid?! This whole time I thought it was a damn frog.
Jacob Anthony
LOL! Just purchased a home in PA and was wondering what was this annoying sound. I searched up many different kinds of frogs because I knew it had to be one. But no, a Katydid! Which I know it exists. Smh
@@rheannerodriguez1326 Some of them only "come out to sing" at certain times sometimes years apart. They look like a cross between grasshoppers and crickets. I grew up on the bayou of Louisiana it would be so many it sounds like one long sound.
yeah just go outside with a flashlight they will fly to you and they will bite if they stay on you!
Paper_Sword yes they do idiot let one stay on you
Paper_Sword Some types of katydids are aggressive and can bite. If you carry a common one in your hand, you might have it latch on to you; to pick one up to move or remove it, carefully grasp it behind the wings-it cannot bite in that position. Anything with a mandible like that can bite, sometimes painfully, but they are not venomous.
this masks my tinnitus perfectly
Me too!
I discovered that too!
wontonsoup533 It helps
Yes. mine too. So many insects I can't hear any more.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say you recorded this while sitting on my front porch late at night. I live in west-central Indiana, right smack-dab on the IN/IL line, and this is exactly what my husband and I listen to while enjoying the cooler July temps at night before we head to bed. LOVE that I can listen to this in December and reminisce about summer fun before I drift off. Thank you for this recording. It makes my heart smile. ♥️
Too much a ground noise to hear the katydids or it would be perfect. :(
I now live in Nevada. Man I didn't realize how much I missed that sound at night growing up in NC.
Whoa! Talk about memories coming back!
I went to school for just one year in Tennessee. A girl I became "umm..friends" with took me to her grandparent's farm after I said we had no lightning bugs on the beaches of Southern California.
She walked me over to a massive old tree, which seemed like it was almost communicating with us as thousands of the small bugs lit up and faded over and over. She told me about her older siblings teaching her to twist off the end of the poor bug which chemically lights up and I said this was such a treat I could never kill one unless they bite or sting. To this day the one summer I had in Tennessee remains unique and very special.
Its like listening to them argue all night about whether katydid or katydidnt all night lol
I live in Fairview a few miles outside of Asheville and these are the sounds I grew up with in the summer. They're a bit louder than this where I live though. They can get so loud at times that it can hurt your ears. Kadydids are one of the things I look most forward to in the summer.
These were recorded in the Asheville area. :) Thanks for the comment.
Clell Biggs Well hello neighbor, I live in Fairview (Reynolds) too! Lol. I hope it never gets developed, or turned into one big giant mass of hustle-bustle hotels, traffic & parking lots like downtown Asheville has recently become! I dream of buying some land in Sugar Hollow for a primitive house, near Hickory Nut Gap Farm.
Yes I'm glad to have this video so we can control volume! My dad used to have an A-frame house in the woods in Crab Creek (Henderson Co), and the bugs singing at night up close to the house were deafening! You couldn't even hold a conversation on the deck lol, and it was hard to sleep in summer sometimes.
Ah, slow life, good peaceful neighbors, fresh air & green living.
Blessings to you & yours.
SleepySounds Ha ha I knew it was Asheville area! I know these songs by heart ;D
*Thank you for this*
Clell Biggs Hey neighbor...Asheville, here!!
The best! Thanks
Absolutely beautiful new subscriber I am happy I came upon your channel 💙
Thank you so much!!
Thank you. Once again your beautiful music and video came at a time when I needed peace. I am blessed because I am subscribed to your channel. 🌞
I grew up in Pennsylvania and spent 35 years there. I've been in the south for 7 years now and miss this sound that I so deeply associate with summer.
nature amplification thru thousands of speakers will save us all from evil.
Used this the night of 2/3 March 2017. Thank you. Reminded me of my time in The Boy Scouts mumble-mumble years ago.
I am also a Boy Scout, an Eagle to be more specific and these sounds bring me back to those restful humid summer nights with a fan to keep you cool and by the way I am a Tennessee boy
The summer sounds of my childhood....bring in a whippoorwill and some peepers and it's perfect......
I always thought this was the nighttime call of the cicada. I thought it had a daytime and a nighttime call. Guess I was wrong, wow! Good to know!
this sounds exactly like where i live during the summertime...it's soothing
sleeping on the porch as a kid...thx i can sleep again! zzzz zzzz zzzz zzzz
Best one ever.😴
When you're tripping on some fine mushrooms, this sound is deeply spiritual at night. I highly recommend it.
Send me some!! 😂
Basically when you're addicted to something
@@Aurora-dj6fo You can't get addicted to psilocybin. It is impossible. It's not heroin or cocaine 🤣🤣🤣
@@BlueCollarBanger yeah just like you can't get addicted to weed right 💀 you all are dependant on that trip don't lie
@@Aurora-dj6fo I might do psilocybin once every two years 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe learn about something before you talk about it.
I have this exact sound right now outside my 2nd floor window so I'm gonna leave you guys tonight. Good sleep and happy dreams to all from Louisiana.
Good night
I was maybe 9 and went to church camp .... I slept so well this sounds so similar and I been looking for that
If you grew up in the south like me and some others in these comments you will immediately recognize this incoming sound!!! Southern Summers are so amazing!!!
summer nights in Jersey
I used to spend summers at my grandmas in Ridgewood NJ... spent the nights with windows open and listening to Katydids
Fact, Ezekiel. One of the best parts of the summer
Oooo! Ringwood here. Boy do I miss those hot summer nights, thunderstorms, listening to katydids and watching lightning bugs fly by.
sounds like a night in the country of central illinois only if it had the occasional bull frog or a distant whipper will and it would be perfect. thank u for sharing
dan watson , do what I do, open a new tab, look for the bulldog sounds and play that one while playing this one.... your own mix.
Awesome; reminds me of my time spent there in the summer! Thanks for sharing. :D
You're welcome! Glad you enjoy it. :)
The sound of a north Carolina night. ive Only seen one or two katydids in my life .. im 17 . but I hear them all the time cause I live surrounded by a forest
This takes me back to east Tennessee where my wife and I grew up. Needed this. Thanks!
I hear these every night despite living in the city
My stress is melting away just listening to them living in south does has it advantages
Sounds exactly like I was setting on my grandpa's front porch in west Virginia.
This reminds me of my childhood home, in Huntsville arkansas.. this brings back memories 🥲😇
This reminds me of when I went camping with my dad out on our back yard. We stayed up just me and him for hours telling ghost stories eating little candy’s and all my talking about my interests. I wish there was a way to know your In the good old days before you leave them.
Amen to that!
The summer nights are beautiful it makes me forget about the scorching temperatures so i hear Katydids a lot during the summer nights along with the sound of trains.
when you go out to pee at night while camping
My favorite sound of summer.
Love this.
These thangs are so loud in the mountains of NC in the fall they'll keep you up at night.
Growing up in Upstate NY in the summerrrrr :O !!!!! Somebody please rescue me from this crappy Las Vegas desert I now live in
:C
You've always got a sonic oasis here. Thanks for listening. :)
If you are in the desert desert, it is always the most beautiful outside of cities--and the best areas are in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. The Nevada desert has always struck me as a bit bleak...
