Matty I hear birds and crickets too. But the cricket sounds I hear, is a bonavide recording. I suspect it is meant to try and cover up the the diesel type engine noise and the rising static sounds of frequency noises that is in the air of where I live. It's like a pulsed harmonic rythm recording of a semblance of the noise of crickets. But it isn't real.
I actually recorded the fake cricket sound one night. Of the other observers, or hearers of the sound that night I recorded it, it seemed to be coming from the higher branches of our frontyard tree. And the other observers, and hearers on that night all agreed crickets don't live in trees, and then the cricket recording paused on its last note, and the 3 other people standing there (who I did not know), as well as me, we all knew that last note that paused too long was no cricket. But this cricket recording that we were hearing, was like a looped feedback or something like that. I had heard it many times before that night and felt it was a recording. But on that night, I knew it without a doubt. My belief is the ringing in the ears is just another form of the hum, just a different level of frequency. After 30 odd years of studying it, they still can't prove how or why this label of tinnitus is coming about. All they really know is, the theme is ringing in the ears.
