Unbelievable, isn't it.
Some years ago a poster, new to TV, complained about noise from mockingbirds in the bushes outside her bedroom window.
In PA where I grew up, the sound of the cicadas meant August and summer winding down. Kind of bittersweet--the end of summer, but looking forward to new school clothes, return to a schedule of sorts, reuniting with friends.
Like someone up-thread said, the sound (we would hear as adults in Ohio and Michigan and sometimes here) brings back an actual feeling. I'm immediately back in the '50s & '60s.
