Why crickets are easy to sleep to
A cricket chorus is high, steady and rhythmic without ever being exact, so the ear stops tracking it after a few minutes. For a lot of people it's also the sound of summer vacations, screen porches and a window left open.
It sits higher than brown noise or rain, so it won't cover low rumbles like traffic. Many people layer it over brown noise in the app: the crickets for the feeling, the brown noise for the masking.
In the Night Outdoors pack
Summer Crickets is one of three recordings in Night Outdoors, with Rainforest Canopy and Crackling Fire. In the app it loops with a four-second crossfade into a random point, so you never hear it start over. This page plays a 25-second preview.
