This is the loudest I have heard in a long time, the tree frogs are [singing an aria tonight…](http://youtu.be/gHbEig0QIPQ)

I opened the decibel meter app on my iPhone and it registered a peeper volume of SEVENTY decibels! Normal still evening ambient noise levels around here is typically 45 dB or so, yes, it’s loud outside

I believe you! They’re so loud here I can hear them when I’m inside with the A/C running. I have tree frogs and cicadas going at it, it’s loud outside!

I am envious. All I hear at night are cars.

When they all suddenly go quiet it means they’re about to attack.

Most nights I am under bombardment by squirrel guided acorns.

I think that’s wonderful! I’d love to live in an area that was alive with so much wildlife.
