Re: 17 Year Cicadas
Cicadas make their noise during the day, Crickets are what you hear at night.
"People sometimes describe night-calling insects as cicadas. But typically, cicadas call during the day, and what we're hearing at night are crickets and katydids."

Re: 17 Year Cicadas
They won't affect me in the least. All I have to do is turn off the hearing aid and I won't hear a sound.
