WATCH: Interesting musical instrument 🧐

David Rothenberg uses the cicadas' trill as his guide DAVID ROTHENBERG, PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND MUSIC AT THE NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SAYING:"For example, you hear 'doooo' - you hear that, that continuous tone. That's made by millions of cicadas doing this: 'fair-oh, fair-oh' - literally that's what they do.

"Now we hear something unusual ''ch-ch-ch-ch'. That's the third of the three cicada species - and hardest to hear, because it gets drowned out later by. That's called Magicicada septendecula. And they're like shakers doing a rhythm: 'ch-ch-ch-ch'. DAVID ROTHENBERG, PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND MUSIC AT THE NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SAYING:

"The easiest to hear is one called Magicicada cassinii - individual goes . Kind of noisy. But then when you have millions of them, they synchronize in waves of noise: 'shhh-shhh'.accompanied by the calls of birds and humpback whales DAVID ROTHENBERG, PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AND MUSIC AT THE NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SAYING:"Yes, some people, of course, think I'm crazy, like it's just this gimmick; it's just this gimmick, you're just like adding this nature stuff to music.
