Heavenly choir of crickets

This is an old story but I thought that because of the time of year it would be nice to share it here (I don't know if it's 100% genuine).

A recording of singing crickets has been slowed down and the result sounds a bit like a choir of human voices singing.

Its a bit spooky if it is real!

According to this site: http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang ... -crickets/ it's a hoax - a mix of crickets slowed down and a human voice.

I did say it may not be 100% genuine

Bah humbug

You did indeed. Some of us are just miserable old scientists.

Happy Christmas anyway
