  Audio Transcript

  The soft sounds of crickets chirping.

Spectrogram of crickets. Spectrograms are graphs that visualize sounds. The brightness of the colors shows sounds’ amplitude (loudness) across different frequencies (pitches), shown from bottom to top, and over time, from left to right. Gentle wind in the background produces the faint, low sounds along the bottom of this spectrogram, while the crickets' continuous high-pitched chirps form the line along the top
