I had trouble sleeping when I first moved from Waldorf. I wasn't used to the sound of nature and it was almost deafening.
I moved from that nasty place a few years ago. Nice to go to sleep to nature rather than sirens going up Smallwood Drive. Here it's no lights, no cars, what luxury....K_Jo said:
Good place for the young ones too.
I would say they are tree frogs. I have them all over the place at my house deep in the woods. They make a beautiful racket and I love to listen to them.mrweb said:Ok, I have a debate going on. If you listen outside tonight, you hear the peep peep noise. Some of the sounds are made by crickets, some by frogs (I live on a small lake). But some of the peeping noises are from the trees. Some have told me they are cicadas, some say crickets (I don't think so). They are loud! What creatures are making our lovely nightly noises here in SOMD?

I thought tree frogs only came out in spring? Maybe they're the left over cicadas. I've been hearing them.Nupe2 said:I think they might be tree frogs. I live in the country too and my father-in-law used to say they were tree frogs. I never knew whether he was just trying to trick a city boy but in his memory I'm going with tree frogs!
That reminds me of the time I was staying in a hotel and there was a cricket in the room somewhere near the bed. I could NOT get to sleep, so I went on a hunt for the thing. I tracked the noise to a floor lamp, lifted it up, saw him, and slammed it down so hard I broke the lamp and the bulb in the lamp.AK-74me said:
