You can hear them pretty much anywhere there are trees.
The sound is produced by stridulation (the rubbing together of body
parts). On katydids, one forewing has a "file" and the other has a
"scraper". The action is like running a pointed object down the teeth of
a comb.

Shockoe Bottom area, standing on the NW corner of East Main Street and
South 23rd Street, I heard noise so loud, coming from a small tree, that

The recording is at the following url:
