Indian short-tailed cricket
~Charles J. Sharp / Wikimedia Commons
It's not a secret
sonic weapon
deployed
by a hostile
geopolitical power,
it's not a mass
psychogenic
illness.
Its something much
more mundane,
says the electrical
and computer
engineering professor:
"It's only crickets;
the mating call
of the short-tailed
West Indies cricket,
to be specific,
(of course it is),
with a chirp
that’s extremely
annoying
to the point
it can cause harm
to humans."
So, if the cricket
sounds cause
headaches,
ringing ears,
fatigue,
and brain damage,
just calm down
and don't be
hysterical
about it.
