A wonderful typical mid-summer soundscape of cicadas, and some katydids recorded on the edge of a small town in illinois. Towards the end of the recording you will hear a very cool doppler-effect as the truck passes from right to left. Recorded about 8:00 at night with my zoom h4-n recorder using it's internal microphones. I had the volume level set fairly high -- 80 -- so you will probably also hear the constant hum of the various central air conditioning units. .
A few minutes of heavyish rain which gently stops and the birds begin to sing again. Children in a neighbouring garden play and the wind is audible in the trees throughout. Recorded at 96khz 24bit. Free to use in anything.
