How Do Cicadas Make Noise? (I filmed one in ULTRA SlowMo at 110,000 fps) - Smarter Every Day 299

Channel

NO CICADAS WERE EATEN IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS VIDEO.
Do you think all the frequencies are happening on this one mechanical device, or do you think there are multiple animals making the call at different frequencies? I'm leaning towards the wobbles being the higher pitch sounds, and the "progressive buckling" being the lower pitch sound.. I think it would be SO cool to partner up with someone and write a paper on this.

On the Ridge Wallet.... I worked it out with Ridge so you can get a free airtag money clip on orders over $76. They were cool and said yes. If you enjoy yours half as much as I enjoy mine it's worth it. Here's that link: https://www.ridge.com/smarter ! Thanks for considering supporting the sponsor!
