“Although to some, the noise is annoying, they pose no danger to humans or pets,' Newberry County deputies said. “Unfortunately, it is the sounds of nature.'

The emergence of cicadas in South Carolina has caused a disturbance so loud that it prompted uneasy residents to call police for help.The Newberry County Sheriff's Office said they had several calls Tuesday about a noise in the air that sounded like "a siren, or a whine or a roar." "The sound is cicadas," deputies informed residents. On hot, sunny days, the brood's collective sounds can reach the volume of a lawnmower or motorcycle.

"TRILLIONS OF CICADAS ARE WEEKS AWAY FROM THEIR EMERGENCETwo groups of cicadas, Brood XIX and Brood XIII , are expected to emerge when ground temperatures reach around 65 degrees. Brood XIX can be found from southern Iowa to Georgia and South Carolina, while Brood XIII will emerge in communities across the Midwest from northern Iowa to Ohio. The emergence is not simultaneous and started in April in southern locales and is expected to begin in June in more northern areas.
