Why do cicadas make noise?
According to the Wildlife Foundation, the noisy people who often hear from the cicadus are a mating strategy that notes that male Siskadas crowd together and produce hoarse chorus in efforts to attract women. Once the process of intercourse is over, the female cicadus accumulates in the branches of the tree. When they hatch, the larva falls to the ground, buried in the soil, and the cycle resumes.
