Yes, indeed! I agree with this diagnosis, most probably
these
are Corixidae. I wonder if there is reference material in
any of
the bioacoustic archives! I vaguely remember some few
publications
with spectrograms. In any case, there is a lot of work to
do!

Hi,
This is a pretty cool recording. It sounds like a field
of goldenrod in mid to late summer! -- maybe these are
the sounds of stridulating aquatic beetles (hydrophilids,
gyrinids, dytiscids?) and water bugs (corixids, nepids,
notonectids?). Very little is known about sound
production & communication within such underwater
communities.
