Annoying insect sound effect.

[Kitoshi]

So what's up with the annoying cricketlike sound effect that constantly. endlessly. annoyingly. keeps playing over and over again? There is 3 seperate sound effects for it, they all sound slightly different and they happen in pretty much every area that has grass?(it doesn't happen in cave area's)

Is this something that is ever going to go away or does it keep active throughout the entire game?

I am legit thinking about stopping the game because of this sound effect. It get's on my nerves so much.
I am not super far into the game yet, although it is a bit easy and has that indie jank to it, it is quite enjoyable.

The sound effects happen right before I take a step forward, there is a minor spoiler in this video for the third character to join you.

Is it the Evening Cicada sound?

It's not time depending nor area. I am not very far into the game yet(Solna plains) but it happens from the starting area(Inel village+area) after the tutorial right up to solna plains and everything in between.

I will see if I can post a video later when I get off work.

I am going to double post here just to bring attention to the video I am posting here and in the opening post.

Is the sound consistent as you're walking? Or does it just pop in every now again?

That's just a Bettle flapping it's wings, makes sense where you are.

Crickets don't make sounds like that since they don't have wings.

Yeah it just happens throughout the area, while waiting, while running, while in cutscenes.
I guess it's not a huge deal but it is incredibly annoying and becomes highly distracting after a while.

It can be turned off if you turn effects to low but then you turn off all effects.
I played a bit more last night and I am heading towards the next area now hoping it dissapears there....

Today I learned

its only some species of crickets that dont have wings, others get wings in adulthood. In general yes they do have wings. Maybe he lives in a place where crickets without wings are the most common ones.

Yeah, that sound has been bothering me because it sounds like some other sound is trying to play, but it's corrupted and repeating the first part of the sound over and over. Now that I know that it's supposed to sound that way, it probably won't bother me as much.
