Whats that rattle snake type of sound in american stuff?

[Tox Laximus]

I hear this in the walking dead series, rage game, and american films when in the wilderness or desert, a really weird sound thats not quite the same as a rattle snake but similar and happens frequently.

Probably is a rattlesnake sound added as stereotypical ambience. Kind of like that screeching eagle/bird sound that you always hear in similar situations....

Sound effects can vary depending on who makes them.

The diamond back rattle snake sound seems to be it or though what I hear in the games and films is more of a ghostly sound, america must be crawling with diamond backs to hear one every minuite or so, or its just sound ambionce put in by editors lol.

Can you find a clip on youtube or something with the sound? Could it be cicadas?

Here's a video of one, but I assume there are many species with different types of sounds.

Cicadas are definatly common in a lot of America. Not so much with rattlesnakes.
Fortunatly, I don't have either.

Cicadas get VERY LOUD when active....

They are common here in the mid-west.
